Leak shows a destabilisation of a state, seen through the material cycle of evaporation and (dis-)appearance. The installation that houses the film resembles something akin to a weather bea- ten electrical box, with water damaged panels and sputtering and rusted air conditioning units. The borrowed language of commonly seen and apparently functional containers is subverted and implied a seemingly functional space broken and discarded.
Inside, a video portrays an unpredictable body of water whose shifting and uncontrollable state seems to have prevented a disaster from being averted. The towels left lying there, as if hastily abandoned, underscore the absence of water – whose traces, by contrast, will never entirely disap- pear.
