Another Beautiful Dream

Synopsis

This film revisits the Chinese wallpaper from the 18th century at Harewood House. Such an exotic artefact was used by the landed gentry as a token of other to imagine the wider world. As the wallpaper was made in China, this film also explores self-representation through the artist’s personal photos.
