[W]ALL continues Cecilia White's interdisciplinary exploration of self, other and the in(de)finite. Drawing on Georges Perec's lipogrammatic novel 'La Disparition' (the Disappearance or A Void). [W]ALL considers the nature of walls, our emotions, and behaviours in relationship to their existence. What or whose purpose does a wall serve, and if, by removing the letter 'W' (as Perec removes 'E' in his novel), what remains? ALL? Paradoxically, this is the German word for space, where the air changes, as our breathing  does during times of transformation.
