Shot to a high finish in the house at 2 Willow Road designed by the  
architect Ernö Goldfinger, the location for its exhibition here, two  
women – one old, one young – move through a set of modernist  
rooms, across hallways and up and down stairs, never meeting, never  
speaking. They variously gravitate towards and linger around what  
looks like one of the British sculptor Barbara Hepworth’s infamous,  
intimate works. Interiors is part of a season of events accompanying  
the Invisible Mend exhibition at Lounge Gallery, Dalston which runs  
until 24 June. http://www.lux.org.uk/projects/invisiblemend.htm


Wake Work
Charlotte Ginsborg and Rose Kowalski
21 - 23 June 2007, 11am - 5pm
LUX, Shacklewell Studios, 18 Shacklewell Lane, London, E8 2EZ

Wake-Work is a 16mm film that explores what it means to work. Its  
subject matter is one building, 18 Shacklewell Lane, a converted  
warehouse, and the people employed there. As a cinematic portrait the  
film cuts across genres of documentary, art and drama to provide an  
intimate social document of the changing working patterns taking  
place in east London at the start of the twenty first century. It  
addresses work as a form of theatre and depicts how the rhythm of  
human activity is affected by the physicality of architecture. The  
sound track is composed of 12 characters testimonies edited together  
to create an imaginary discussion that reflects on role-play,  
identity, and power in the workplace.  Through depicting cigarette  
breaks, generic meetings and office spaces the film draws attention  
to how characters communicate without words, and the potency  
contained within their mundane actions and momentary glances. The  
‘naturalness’ of the voices, combined with the overtly staged but  
restrained dramatisation of people moving through their environment  
present the viewer with an ambiguity as to exactly what they are  
watching. What results is an epic account of the everyday.
