Behind closed doors

When I came in today there had been a massive plaster drop from the ceiling - the old lime wash on the beams is continuously flaking and dropping off. The place had been shut for two days after the weekend and it made me think of all the activity that must be going on in these old buildings when there's no one around - the building moving and living when we're not here, doing its own thing...

It's made me wonder about collecting some evidence of this somehow - thinking about Bruce Nauman's Mapping The Studio where he put video and sound recorders in his empty studio overnight.
