In addition to his highly accomplished photography, Andrew Jackson has recently begun to produce short lyrical films which, much like his photography, attempt to explore different aspects of contemporary Britain's identity through the lives and experiences of particular individuals.
The film Fire (24 min., 2009) was produced as part of Jackson's The Hidden Landscape, a project which through photography, film and writing explored notions of community within the Lozells and Handsworth districts of Birmingham. Fire tells the story of a community from the point of view of the eponymous individual; a young man of eighteen living in Handsworth, Birmingham. As Jackson says 'Fire is not the name bestowed upon him at birth, ... but it is the name that marks him in his small corner of the world that he and his friends call "Crookery"'.
No Work/No Cake (21 min., 2009) was produced as part of the exhibition The Golden Road: New photography, film and writing on contemporary Britain and economic migration. The film focuses on the main subject M__, a woman who came to Britain from Bratislava four years ago in an attempt to seek work and to start a new life.
This event is free and open to all with no ticket required. Entry is on a first come,
first-served basis. For more information email: arts@lse.ac.uk|
