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.
