Archives of a Crescent
About
On Hilldrop Crescent, the lives of residents are entangled with the hidden, watchful underworld of rats and foxes. Through uncanny puppetry, stop-motion animation, and micro-camera work, lived memories take on a life of their own — distorted, flickering and hard to pin down, like life itself. Spanning 70 years, fragmented and half-remembered stories drift between above and below ground, where gentrification creeps, neglect lingers, and unseen forces reshape the landscape. By turns eerie, darkly comic and unexpectedly tender, the piece reveals the stubborn humour, resilience and everyday poetry that persist behind every front door — and beneath the floorboards.
