"Broken English"
consisted of 4000 litres of water per hour, pumped over
the internal surfaces of two plate glass gallery windows
on the street-level frontage. Two metres behind these
screens of water were two enlarged hand painted
reproductions of pages from A Handbook of English
intonation printed in phonetics. People on the street
saw viewers inside the gallery as they attempted to read
the text or look back through the distorting screen of
water. Every viewer, therefore, became part of a
constantly changing whole.
