Ready for the house expands on Arini Byng’s investigation into individual and collective experience of everyday encounters with objects. She is interested in the idea of expiration, modifying objects that have ceased to be ‘useful’ and transforming familiar materials into something new and unrecognisable. By creating different rituals for their use and signification of certain objects, Byng reanimates their material vitality. We see through performance and video a tactile phenomenology of the body as it encounters the physical world.
