Pictures Of Lily

Synopsis

A nameless businessman arrives by the coast for a meeting. When this is postponed at the final hour, he wanders aimlessly through a hip, young bohemian town and sticks out like a thumb-in-a-suit. He stumbles into a flea market and, whilst perusing its wares, spies a woman, Lily, who appears to be everything he feels he is not - youthful, modern, confident, brave and alive.

After an initially awkward encounter, Lily agrees to be his 'tour guide' for the day, with the caveat that they reveal no trivial information about themselves, such as names or back-story; they should just enjoy their time together and keep an open mind.

Through Lily's anti-romantic cynicism and the Man's mysteriously lovelorn air, the pair begin to find
an unexpected common ground and mutual appreciation.
They walk, talk, drink and smoke like it's the last day; they watch other couples interact; Lily introduces the Man to her friends, the music, the lights, the attitude and the night.
They bond and break and fall in like.

Yet when the light returns, are they destined to part the way they met … as strangers?

A dog in a crudely made fox costume is sat being fed by a yellow marigold glove on the end of a wooden pole. A Skulk in London

Director: Polina Chizhova, James Stephen Wright

Year: 2018

The work “A Skulk in London” explores the human projections onto animal life from a satirical perspective. Its aim is research the life of urban foxes amid the Anthropocene environment of central London and the mythologies surrounding them to highlight the human tendency of understanding and perpetually interpreting the natural world limited by the point of view of “man”. The main character is a city man who becomes fascinated with finding nature in the city and is following urban foxes to fulfil his dream of wilderness. The character lives in a world of fantasy and does not consider the perspective and agency of urban wildlife. His obsession is so blinding and absorbing that he doesn’t realise that the fox he finds is, in fact, a dog in a costume.
