Lindsay Seers conjures highly distinctive and always unforgettable psychological intrigues. Here, visitors are invited to enter the intimate confines of a specially constructed tin hut and be gradually spellbound by the multimedia story of an unnamed protagonist who has a rare condition called genetic mosaicism. Apparently caused by the fusion of two fertilised eggs in the womb, the condition leads to heterochromia: having eyes of two different colours where one eye is effectively absorbed from the “twin”. The narrative is a characteristic Seers ploy, seducing us into her beguiling world of medical mysteries, haunted technologies and lost longing.
