Episode 3 – The Ticket That Wasn’t Yours

Episode 7 – Dawn to Dusk: The End of the Night

This episode examines a nightclub where the expected aftermath of a night out doesn’t seem to apply. Visitors describe entering in a typical late-night state and leaving hours later noticeably restored—alert, composed, and ready for the day. Through interviews and anecdotal accounts, Trinity Pine builds a picture of a place that appears to do more than simply stay open late. Beneath the Counter is part of a wider art project exploring speculative shopfronts, urban storytelling, and the bureaucratic uncanny. It combines fictional podcasting, street-level interventions, and AI-generated ephemera to imagine a high street haunted by capitalism, memory, and desire.

Episode 6 – Archaeological Overspill

A service alley off Old Christchurch Road. A closed engraver’s shop. A brass plaque embedded in the tarmac that most people walk over without noticing. When Trinity scrapes dirt from the lettering, she discovers that Granville Place is officially designated as Archaeological Overspill. What follows is the slow revelation of something extraordinary: a Roman marble foot, medieval cloister arches, and a monumental sculptural group more at home in Naples than Bournemouth. Speaking to Nigel, the former engraver, and Ken from the Fellowship of Exchange and Loss, Trinity tries to understand how museum-grade artefacts have come to rest between bins and fire escapes — and whether anything should be done about it.

Episode 5 - Immersion in Béchamel Sauce: A Guided Rest by Trinity Pine

Trinity Pine visits the Béchamel Parlour, a small establishment where people are helped to sleep through a warm béchamel immersion. You lie in a bread-lined bath while attendants ladle warm sauce over the body from the toes upward. This is a full, recorded session—slow, steady, and designed to drift you into rest.

Episode 4 – The Accountant

A watch shop closes for the fifth time. Trinity speaks to one of the men who ran it — and uncovers how their accountant didn’t just balance books… he disrupted time. What begins as a story of rising costs and strange invoices becomes the origin of something bigger: the prototype that made Infract possible.

Episode 3 – The Ticket That Wasn’t Yours

Trinity investigates a booth exchanging parking tickets for cash — no questions asked. But what starts as a strange local service leads to something bigger: a new cryptocurrency called Infract, built on fines, friction, and shame. Behind it all? A familiar face, and a system older than it looks. Beneath the Counter is part of a wider art project exploring speculative shopfronts, urban storytelling, and the bureaucratic uncanny.
