Once works ‘in’ the participants. Each stranger becomes the site at which a kind of alchemical fusion of projection and introspection lifts itself into consciousness. Looking and being looked at, sensing movement towards and away from each other and all of the electricity, e-motion, ethics and responsibility of that…just once. Barry Laing Real Time
