Tags: Autobiography, City

Domestic life in south London filtered through stories of weight (and waiting), local history, bad dreams and the ongoing colonisation of the moon.

Original music by Bruno De Angelis.

Side note: There’s a strand of ersatz autobiography in my work that began in Making things meaningful (2003) and then reappeared in ‘RoE’ a couple of years later. It’s since resurfaced several times over the years (most notably in The Riddle (ghost chair) (2014), The Popular Touch (2018), and Looking for Letine (2024)).

Each of these films is standalone (they’re not technically a series, probably more of a cycle), but there are occasional references and ‘call backs’ - formal, visual +/or narrative - which inform their internal logic.
