The six movement noise opera The Ballad of Skinny Lattes and Vintage Clothing, premiered in a basement car park at the iconic Trellick Tower in London as part of InTRANSIT festival in 2013. For this iteration in the Lewis Elton Gallery in Surrey, the audience were given headphones and an iPod and invited to explore the various displays on the subject of gentrification, artists and the international money markets, whilst they listened to the sound pieces that accompanied each movement of the original work.

The sound works were accompanied by the Super 8 film Squeezing Profit from the Moment, which introduces the shady, fictional Skinny Vintage Investment Corporation and their ‘Boom’ and ‘Bust’ investment vehicles.
