The Day St Isiona gave answers

St Loge (Escape from the Woodshed)
A video installation including a carved-wood puppet figure whose body is a log. The video is viewed in a small shed and tells the following story: the log gains consciousness and escapes the fire only to wonder why he is actually alive, and what it means. He discovers messages written on pebbles but never finds out what became of the message-writer. In the end he no longer believes he is alive, so his inanimate log-body feels no pain when it reaches the fire.
