After Dark Part One
"What is it? It's been driving me mad. A lot of people
round here are talking about it."
"I'd forgotten about it and was passing on the bus
and saw this bright blue light and realised this
must be it. It's very urban. You should get someone
to photograph it from the bus."
"Your blind's down. We can't see in."
"It's a very sophisticated piece. I love the way
the street light changes the blue"
"What is it? What's it for? Why are you doing it?"
"It's very Turrell. Are there any performances?"

suddenly come on it."
"That's nice. Do you go to church?"
"At first it seems quite normal but the more you
think about it the odder it gets"
"I loved the first one. It was really beautiful
but I don'tlike this, it makes me think of
fundamentalism."
"It's a load of fucking bollocks. It's a load of
fucking bollocks."
"I couldn't help notice your banner here Are you
an organisation or just a residential house?......
Spot on. May God be with us and all our endeavors".
"There's worse inside than there are outside."

your window on GLR."
"Wonderful."
"We were told there was a sex shop round here."
Security
"I've been leaving messages for you on the camera.
Did you get them?"
Red/White
"I'm not sure about this one. Its a bit too much
like art."

"I thought it was lipstick smeared on the window."
NO

on the other side."
"Oh I can see. It says Dog lick."
Light Ladder
"Well at least it tells a story. Not like
that cow in the Tate. It's about a man who
was trying to change a light bulb and fell
off the ladder".
"Its the scaffold. Or a stairway to heaven."
"We like this one. It's like our house at
the moment. Empty rooms with ladders."

for hours."
