A discarded reel-to-reel tape recorder amongst other materials within a waste recycling area plays a woman’s voice speaking in German. A man replays the material for a woman who acts as both his interpreter and counselor within a dark interior surrounded by plant life. As a result of her accent, he misinterprets her advice to fall back on his “own resources” as the “wrong resources”—at which point she instigates an I Ching session that seems closer to a séance. As she inputs I Ching data into a rubber keyboard, the man is transported back to the garbage collection area where the reel-to-reel tape recorder was first seen. He uses the same machine to record himself singing as he sits alone at night amongst the recycling material that surrounds the garbage bins. The tape recorder malfunctions and he finds himself once again within the interior setting. The woman is unable to provide any further guidance as she is now sightless—hence he must follow her original interpretation and fall back onto his own resources. The video projection recommences after a short interval of 15 seconds with the discovery of the discarded tape recorder in the waste recycling area.

Featuring Rebecca Lee Bower and Angus Hamilton utilising pre-recorded vocal tracks from an iChing session conducted by Indira Shanahan (1958 - 2025) to foretell the future for Kieran Boland. Soundtrack by Bucket Men
