The missing guest

Fading / fade-out

Painful ordeal in which the loved being appears to withdraw from all contact, without such enigmatic indifference even being directed against the amorous subject or pronounced to the advantage of anyone else, world or rival.

'A Lover's Discourse' Roland Barthes

The missing guest is an installation comprising of 5 tables. Each table offers a serving of love objects that mark the spot of an absence.
These assemblages are a re-configuration of known rituals but presented in a manner that echoes the spaces where dining takes place in one’s home.
