==== Project notes: ====


Plan:
  * Original plan was to visit London as Merrick, to see the stone from Solomons temple at St. Paul's.
  *  Also to stage a sideshow, where the  general public is cofronted with Merrick reading and studying.
  *  Video-film-scene with Merrick constructing some objects.

Themes: 
  *  Merrick as a living fractal.
  *  The face and mask related to the sculptural principles of object and cast.
  *  (Church) models or miniatures and how we relate to them.
  *  The architecture of Churches as symbols of the Body of Christ.
  *  The principles of facial recognition and the impossibility of remembering
  
Merrick's face in detail.
  *  The dominance of geometric tools in physics
