Two (new) view points

Swopping each other’s neighbourhoods, Christina and Lucy took a walk around the block, constructing a simple video score as they moved through unfamiliar streets, following the pattern of their attention whilst recalling ideas they’d share in movement and conversation.

Palm Trees of Hackney invites the viewer to follow their own thread of attention via its splitscreen form.
