Crenels in the Wind

2017

Crenels in the Wind is a book written with designer Jamie Smyth, describing a narrators’s stay in a building as a guardian while suffering from an unspecified illness. The text is stitched together from original writing and fragments gathered from diverse sources, including transcriptions of online videos and descriptions of buildings. The story is implicitly set in a post-apocalyptic future and is concerned with some similarities between modernism and contemporary lifestyle trends, and the implication in both that there is a natural or ‘best’ way for humans to live.
