AnyNumber : NoPlace was a site-sensitive adaptation of The Mooring of Richard AnyNumber, created in collaboration with Mark Jeffery for an abandoned toy shop in Nottingham and displayed throughout the Nottdance 05 festival. The window covering that dictated the shape(s) of the projected piece was created by Judith Leemann.

From the interior of the abandoned Beattie's Toy Shop, carefully constructed acts (both written and performed) of labour and mourning are projected each evening through an altered curtain that hangs in a single window of the empty building. The curtain is constructed from two sheets of blackout cloth that have been sewn together with red thread and skinned with a blade to reveal the semi-transparent surfaces of a stenciled house and pathway.

Within the cut-out house, a silent figure builds, with a model farmhouse, tools, tractors, lorries, and die-cut men, a series of near-still portraits that are interrupted by the attempts of a software program to represent task-based labor through graphical and textual routines. The scenes give homage to the passing of a day that is haunted by the absence of men who, through death or infirmity, have left their labours behind - whose vehicles will not run anymore because the worker has stopped working.

In the daytime state of the piece, the gauze-like, skinned areas of the cloth enable light to act as a projection inside the Toyshop. The pathway, leading away from the house, is deliberately unfinished, the pulling back and skinning of the material abandoned to signify a resting point in the labours of the artists.
