almost something

Introduction:

There is an emptiness about the city in the summer. So many people are elsewhere. In September it has filled again, you are back, but still your mind wanders. Almost Something is an ode to those precious moments when your sensations are heightened and for an unmeasurable amount of time you are elsewhere.

Appearances aren't to be trusted and Almost Something is never quite what it seems. Offered a variety of perspectives, you, the viewer can piece together the reality of this show to your own liking. Almost Something is an art show, which includes concerts and movie nights. It is easy to get lost in the imaginations of more than 20 artists including musicians, writers, film-makers and fakes. Critics have created 4 separate guide books with maps and an audio tour. These are your tools, they are all unreliable, the rest is up to you.
