Film & Video Umbrella: Our Mutual Friend
The one and only constant in the city, is the constant change. Permanence is a ruse as architecture is always a perpetual motion. The city is planned and unplanned, the post-modern and the budget patch-up, the ground is dug over for both fiber optic cables and Victorian water pipes. Shoring holds up walls, scaffold is a virus. The bollard, th
e high-vis, the reality of the broken pavement and scared landscape. For Film & Video Umbrella’s Our Mutual Friend Graham Hudson follows the routes of the 6 FVU Dickensian walk, documenting the ruptures and repairs to London. The walks are:
1. Southwark & City
2. Angel to Holborn
3. Soho & Covent Garden
4. City and Clerkenwell
5. Lincolns Inn and Temple
6. Marylebone & Bloomsbury
Graham Hudson invited photography contributions to the project from:
Léonie Cronin, Shelly Theodore, Cadi Froehlich, Gin Dunscombe, Emily Bruton and Sue Stephens.
