Every Time I See Your Picture I Cry uses an overhead projector to trace and develop the interior dialogue of a sensitive garbage man as he wanders aimlessly through the city streets, collecting garbage in the early hours of the morning. Throughout the story he encounters a number of disturbing tableaux, and attempts to resolve these witnessed traumas internally through "scrap-craft" - the creative recycling of garbage into art. Daniel Barrow will perform The Face Of Everything at opening night and Looking For Love In The Hall Of Mirrors during the forum.

He refers to his practice as 'graphic performance, live illustration, or manual animation'.
