Play Quicktime

A short documentary film inspired by the track “Sublime 01″ by composer Michael Nyman that combines his music with a philosophical monologue of Joe McGarry, the former the Director of development at homeless charity Arlington House. The film explores our collective sense of home through a visual poem that illustrates Joe’s journey of finding his home within. The audio interview was originally made by Rob Rainbow for the Domestic Archaeology exhibition at the Geffrye Museum.
