"Everything becomes familiar eventually. But there was something
else, I'd tried to explain, a rhythmic presence like breath, barely
a sound, more like pressure. I feel it on my stomach in bed, a
weight. The hairs on my neck stand on end. She still doesn't
believe me..." Tower Street, East London, 1975: a crumbling block
of artists' studios shaped by the myth of male genius but
maintained by Connie, a female caretaker struggling to find her
creative voice. Cut to 2017, and this same building is now luxury
apartments, the new home of young couple Jane and Tam. Yet their
fresh start is jeopardized when a chance discovery brings past
secrets to light. Drawing on interviews with artists, photographers
and administrators, as well as autobiographical elements,
Innominate is a mystery story about privilege and power, in which
buildings (and bodies) alternately nurture, trap, and entangle
their inhabitants. Perhaps it is only by dissecting the
architecture of a place that we can truly understand what happened
there?
