Stranger than Fiction at FACT presented a number works that reference sensory deprivation, the unearthing of memory, objects and history, where the audience is invited to build their own connections in confronting the void. All the artworks contributed to the wider themes of abstraction and storytelling. 

Lisa Reihana’s sound installation Colour of Sin: Headcase Version (2005) took its place amongst the normal bustle of the bar outside FACT's Gallery 2. 1970’s hair dryers were converted to relay an intimate dialogue, exploring internal passions against the banality of external life: the details became increasingly fractured, while the compelling and provocative story probed conventional perceptions of gender, sexuality and identity.
