Welcome Mouth-Ports-Bou-Har! was part of the Stranger Things are Happening group show at Aspex Gallery, Portsmouth in June 2009. Mirror displacements – and actualisations – were performed around the Portsmouth Harbour area, culminating in a further performance at the gallery itself around a glitter drawing. The following images include stills from the film made of the performance.

Plastique Fantastique, on this occasion, were David Burrows, Simon O’Sullivan, Samudradaka, Simon Davenport and Lawrence Leaman.

You can listen to the soundtrack to the performance here.

1. Lay out mirrors to create mirror displacement.

2. Explore mirror displacement through using body (crawling, dancing, movement) to see what can be seen in mirror displacement.

3. Announce the arrival of Mouth-Ports Bour-Har when site appears to be in ruins.

4. Leave mirror image of Mouth-Ports Bour-Har as marker of where Mouth-Ports Bour-Har has appeared,

Repeat as many times as necessary.
