Songbird (2000)
Solo work
| Shown in the toilets of Crash - a busy nightclub in Vauxhall, South London - Songbird was an attempt to perform something small yet meaningful amidst the full on hedonism of the gay dance scene. Replacing a toilet cubicle door with a wall of glass Robert Pacitti sealed himself inside a stall and spent eight hours etching William Blake love poetry into the glass door with the tip of a diamond. This gentle action, which caused a furore amongst some clubbers, had to be carefully measured - in order that the words could be read correctly from outside the cubicle Pacitti had to etch each word backwards. Undertaken as part of a Live Art Development Agency One to One Bursary. Commissioned by Duckie as part of the Nightbird season. |

Blue Murder (1997)
Duet
| A collaboration between brother and sister, Robert and Esther Pacitti. Exploitation flicks, Hammer Horror films and old b-movies inspired the revisiting of a shared childhood, with its fantasies and unsavoury exploits, its cruelty and its bullying. The words "Whatever you do just don't go down the cellar..." fuelled a decade of conflict between the pair, revisited in Blue Murder using the sort of painful humour only real familiarity can allow. A 'Trash' Commission for Chisenhale Dance Space, Dance4 Nottingham and Nottingham NOW ninety7. |
