Smithfield Car Park, West Smithfield, London, EC1A 9PQ.
A collaboration between filmmaker Emliy Richardson
and author and poet Iain Sinclair, Transit journeys through the East End
quietly observing the shifting architectural and social landscape. Underneath
Smithfield Market, at a juncture where the past encroaches upon the modern
world, a two storey car park occupying a former underground meat depot
is transformed into a projection space incorporating the only remaining
row of the original high arched vaults.
Iain Sinclair provides pieces of a labyrinthine
narrative through the soundtrack, from which the viewer can navigate these
landscapes in transition.
