A disused marble warehouse becomes the setting for a suspended event. Discarded materials, plant elements and wax coexist within a space that appears to preserve the traces of something that has just happened, or is still waiting to occur. The site functions as an involuntary archive in which stillness, abandonment and transformation continually overlap.
