The work takes its title from a description of a roadside picnic, which gives name to Arkady and Boris Strugatsky’s science fiction novel that then was interpreted onto the screen as the film Stalker by Andrei Tarkovsky.

Within the drawing, some words are discernible, giving clues to the text of the book which has its form flattened as the pages layers were reprinted on top of each other and thus leaving story unreadable

I am interested to see how the permutations fold in thought around the different objects and dimensionality and how this might relate with the journey within the story. I am particularly drawn to Tarkovsky’s style of minimal effects to draw on our relationship to time, space and emotion rather than fantastical effects, that resonates for both the protagonist’s and viewer’s internal quest for a certain knowledge or self discovery.
