We’re Not Blacking Out, Just Turning the Lights Off as Proud To Be Your Version 2, steps into the vacuum of memory, intuition and forgetfulness. ‘Am I not broken, stolen, common,’* things start to get woozy with James Richards’ paean to intimacy as we ease ourselves slowly into a sensual tapestry of found video material, cigarette ends, performance and sound. ‘Am I not glinty eyed and frozen,’ the heat hits, the familiar is disarmed and exploded, and the palimpsest’s wiped clean, ‘Was I not over, overridden, ‘ with fresh impulses, nuances and legends. We’re happy you dropped by, ‘it is a long story,’ we’re ‘proud to be your version.’
