Comfort Station presents Like a House on Fire, a weekend-long festival centering time-based work that wields light within SCAFFOLD. Ruby Que, Ále Campos, and Florence Woolley each present new work that responds to the possibilities of Comfort Station’s SCAFFOLD structure. For this weekend only, SCAFFOLD acts as a frame across which fabric is stretched, a blank canvas for the artists to transform with light.

Florence Woolley is an artist, researcher, and critic, working between moving image, documentary, and performance. Blurring the lines between fact and fiction her work is driven by a desire to tap into the politics of the everyday and to question the normality of socio-political life. Drawing connections between seemingly disparate ideas using found footage, narrative, poetry and performance, Florence’s work considers how visual language can transform our perceptions. Her work is particularly concerned with disrupting the legitimacy of citizenship, nation-states, and institutions. Rather than seeking to solve problems, untie knots or establish wholeness, Florence’s work finds nuances and particularities to re-imagine the entangled relationship between people, place, ecology, and time.
