Installation artwork
By Alby Falzon
"You'd wake up in the morning and find a room had been transformed overnight. Martin (Sharp) and people would keep working through the night. So the whole house was an installation artwork. And, uh, it was installed but it became a performance space - so inside the installation, performances took place. So it was a multimedia art form."
