This is an installation in which a pair of mens' brown shoes sit on the floor. Smoke rises upward from inside the shoes towards an overhead light, suggesting a phantom body, a person having left a situation in a hurry or spontaneously combusted.The title refers to the person to whom the shoes previously belonged.

The work was first installed in a basement space with stone walls and earth on the floor. This was at Chantal Crousel gallery in 1997 as part of a solo show called Another time Another place. Later the work was constructed inside a shed with steps leading up to it and wood chips on the floor. It was often shown together with The Figment installation: MCA, Chicago, USA in 1998 (Whether the Roast Burns, the Train Leaves or the Heavens Fall), and then as part of Tomorrow's World, Yesterday's Fever, Milton Keynes gallery, and Victoria Miro gallery, London, both in 2001. It was also installed without a shed, as part of the Mayday group exhibition, Centre d'Art Neuchatel, Switzerland in 1999.

The work belongs to Damien Hirst. The shoes were Paul Fryer's.

In 2000 framed photographic prints were produced with the same title. A large version (edition of 3) hangs almost to the floor when installed. There are also an edition of smaller photographic prints. In 2004 a print run of the same image was produced as a giclee onto somerset paper. (Edition 30)
