Everything Ends In Chaos is a mixed-media collection of objects, narrative texts and films that reveal the intricate trajectories of an artificially designed and then reverse engineered, economically viable Black Swan event.

As functioning humans beings, psychologically we are collectively and individually blind to uncertainty, and therefore often unaware of the impact that singular events can have on our lives: economically, historically and scientifically, until after their occurrence. Some of us die by this mistake and some of us profit beyond our wildest dreams from it.

Everything Ends in Chaos is a project that’s attempt is to artificially construct a financial Black Swan. Positioned in hindsight, and told through a series of fragmented hypothetical narratives that have undergone various actuary financial assessments; made by investment bankers and insurance brokers to loss adjusters and risk strategists, drawing upon the practice of insurance with the means to investigate and underpin the moment at which economical fact becomes fiction and vise versa.

The plot begins with the kidnapping of a Mrs Henderson, wealthy wife of a senator, who's stolen diamonds proceed to the unfolding of an extremely complex series of tipping points that lead to an actuary economically viable, global financial meltdown.

Can we really insure for such unpredictability?
What does an economic collapse actually look like?
How might it feel to witness such chaos?

Everything will end in chaos, but let’s hope that it be a deliciously, catastrophically beautiful and chaotically profitable, blackest of Black Swans.
