The curious incident at Haunted Rock 

Examine the cracks in your street, note its graffiti, collect its detritus, observe how its pavements are used and abused. We do not need search. We know everything we need to know. Attend to the smallest things. Do not come here and complain to us about the mosquitoes! Set yourself tasks that passers-by will be intrigued by: they will enjoy interrupting and even joining in with you. We refuse to be described, we will never be evangelised, we are not the photo opportunity of a lifetime. Draw upon ambiguous, ironical or hollowed-out rituals to complement the multiplicity of your walk with intensity of feeling or depth of engagement. We will hunt you like a wild pig. We want to go beyond the sensory experience of consensus reality.
