The attic<br />
We needed a place for Kali to escape to. It would be a<br />
place that would suggest a great view out onto the world,<br />
presenting the possibility for knowledge and objectivity but<br />
would ultimately turn to taunt Kali for her inability to see.<br />
It needed to be a place separate from Todd where Kali<br />
could fall victim to her brutal insecurities.<br />
Just like the kitchen and the bed would turn on the couple<br />
we wanted the attic to do the same. Laura Hopkins<br />
ingeniously designed a 'dangerous' desk that would pull Kali<br />
in and terrify her. This involved creating the illusion of a<br />
solid desk that was actually filled with water. It has a<br />
working laptop apparently resting on it along with a mug<br />
and angle poise lamp. Then, inexplicably, it pulls Kali<br />
into itself.<br />
It is a very exciting effect. It adds to the notion that 'Us' are<br />
desperately trying to tell them something. Does it also<br />
suggest that 'Us' is the house Is 'Us' not just the<br />
suppressed personal knowledge of the protagonists but also<br />
the knowledge of the only continual observer, ie the house<br />
It is an interesting thought. (see 'Us')<br />
If this is so then this house that they built,<br />
Todd<br />
The house that love built (p.30)<br />
is not buying into this notion of the perfect relationship.<br />
It knows too much. It has seen too much. Like 'Us' it also<br />
knows where it will end.<br />
