An Alarm Clock Rings... (2024) Weston Studio, Royal Academy of Arts

​

RA Schools students Lolly Adams, Djofray Makumbu and James Sibley explore staging through methods of set building, costuming and moving image production. An Alarm Clock Rings... draws upon ordinarily non-visible elements within each
of the three artists’ practices, unveiling personal narratives and alter egos. A space for play, miniature figurines are endlessly reconfigured, animation cells are laboured over, costumes are embellished and hiding places can be occupied and explored. An Alarm Clock Rings... featured an exhibition text by Sally O’Reilly.
