Being rejected by the retail owners that owned the wall in which we wanted to perform our piece on, meant that we had to rethink our performance.

However, we were focused on retaining our intention to encourage the audience to view the street and its purpose differently and break the flow of the high street. Therefore reading “a sardine street box of tricks” gave us the skeleton idea of ‘layers’. “Imagine you are archaeologists of the meanings of your street, then your walkings are excavations”. (crab man and signpost, 2011, 32) This inspired us to use the idea of layers in our piece; uncovering the layers of the high street and revealing them to the audience by layering them in QR codes.
