Choir is a two part project based on the film My Dinner with Andre by Louis Malle.
Installed in the gallery is a film montage that juxtaposes specific viewpoints of the characters in the film relating to notions of how to live. The repetition of oppositional text and image is played out as two voices swap characters between two monitors that play a slideshow of found images from library books.

For the second part of the project, Guestroom is hosting a small private dinner and film screening for watching the actual film, instigating some of the ideas of the film into the space and discussion.

This project is part of It's not for reading, it's for making at Formcontent, London, 13-15 March 2009
