Legend has it that words Nec Plus Ultra were inscribed on the Pillars of Hercules, warning sailors to ‘go no futher’. The work explores the obscure future of the site as the building was going to be demolished, with the building becoming a tomb and the pillars gravestones. An ornamental fence around the pillar suggests a futile attempt to preserve the building by transforming the pillar from a functional to an aesthetic object. The text connects us to Plymouth’s past of new world adventure and discovery, thereby collapsing notions of present, past and future into one another.
