Over a career spanning more than three decades, Shelley Lasica's practice has placed the creative and processional machinations of dance and choreography centre stage, skirting histories of visual, spatial and performance art. Lasica's debut book traces ten iterations of the collaborative dance work from which the book takes its name, with image sequences fracturing and folding in on themselves amidst a measured, cumulative flow of gestures, people, movements, and architectures. Each time The Design Plot is performed, it is durational or cumulative, hosting a collective conversation: What is the work? Where is the work? What happens to the work after occupying this architecture of time and space? The book is at once documentation and another iteration of an ongoing process.
