'The Turning of The Leaves'
A/V Installation
Union Chapel, London, 2017 & 2018
Lead Artist, Writer & Director
The Turning of the Leaves is a meditation on the subject of masculinity with reference to the First World War and the phenomenon of intergenerational trauma. It's named after a ceremony that takes place in Manchester Cathedral, in which a page is turned in the Book of Remembrance on alternate Wednesdays.
Drawing on research, interviews and participation in mens groups, the installation is concerned with the challenges facing men today amidst inherited narratives of power, violence and invulnerability.
Funded by the National Heritage and Lottery fund
