Commissioned by Quarterlight, Sheffield. Also exhibited at Salt, Sheffield Hallam University, and The Opener, Sheffield.
 
Later developed into a work-in-progress performance at Site Gallery, then a touring theatre piece.

Experiment Zero began life as an idea for a piece called Burning The Toast - a piece that would explore new ways of working with film, video and live performance. The original title (from a dance film proposal that Rachael had worked on with Steel Bank Films) reflects the planned theme: the way arguments in relationships can appear to be about one thing and actually be about something else. We weren’t ready to make that show, so somehow the project headed off into 50s sci-fi starting with a photographic project for the windows of The Workstation in Sheffield.
