An overflowing ash barrel on a curb becomes a slice of memory and social history. A torn handkerchief fragment, a faded walking stick, a scuffed silk hat, a sandal, a child’s glove, and other trinkets speak of flirtations, fashion, and vanished summers. The scene shifts to Dr Laing’s distillation methods and then to the undersea cables, detailing new still designs and global installations.
