LOCATION: Hackney
WORDS & FILMS: Josh Alexander & David Kelly-Mancaux (Erkembode)
This trilogy documents the Lea Marshes and what ensues…
Breathe Wizard Breathe is a swirl of marsh dwellers (leafy mummers, car parks, tree spirits, pylons, goalposts) but ultimately a singular, omnipresent, character. A thin veil is lifted to reveal: magic. Voyeurism.
Please Don’t Leave Your Personal Longings on the Train follows the weirdness of everything around a marshy estate with pulsating energy.
WARMING completes the trilogy. An awakening of language; the marsh is aware of us.
