Lilly contemplates what it is to cultivate a practice of vulnerable disinterest in resolution, leading to a rushed fuelling of ideas, represented as immediate interventions that unfold in response to a site’s conditions of access, material convenience and situatedness. In subverting multiplicities of objects to forms dysfunctional, works produce large spatial ruptures that prompt a lingering or anti-social behaviour. Her rapidly performed obstructions appear disobedient or displaced, adopting impulsive actions that produce unforeseen, bodily compositions. Object collisions stage an urgency that avoids signals of utility yet serve to prompt modes of social engagement.
