The echo of another form of violence – that of a scare – can be heard from a pile of knife-throwers’ target boards (Dr Rossiter, 2015). We can imagine bodies – restricted and attached – their eyes weeping with terror, holding their breath and praying that the blades will not hit their heart. And yet these boards are stored away, pinned against the wall, old, unused, and thus inoffesive. Despite this, if death were to ensue, steles are there to honour the unlucky souls (R.I.P., 2013) in the decorative sobriety of their construction material, breeze-blocks.
