Multi-story

Multi-story was made as a memento mori to the spoil and fill of Capitalism. The project was inspired by 80, Bishopsgate, a building I helped to rebuild after if was blown up by the IRA in 1993. In 2011 this nine storey facsimile was demolished to a make way for a new City tower and the film plays with this repeated cycle of demolition, weaving together archive material and stories from the demolition and construction workers. Multi-story was shown at studio1.1 as part of the solo exhibition 'Spoil and Fill'. The film was projected at an aspect ratio of 16:9 onto its own wall, constructed from 144 concrete test cubes, made by site engineers from across London and the South East.
