Post-Industrial Dreamscape

Jermaine Francis took over the HAPAX Living Room to present his multi-format response, ‘Lost in Music: A Post-Industrial Dreamscape / Living Room Remix’. Transporting us on a kaleidoscopic journey through Post-industrial Britain, hyper-productivity, political ruptures, dance music, labour, race and its intersections with class. Francis’ work is a purposeful collage of contemporary and archival material in a cacophonic style that mimics the wasteland of information we’re often presented with. Fast streams of internet visuals that we can’t fully grasp, video footage of dancefloors, communities, industrial spaces and urban regeneration.

Accompanying Francis’ video piece and photographic works was a new audio piece and a radio broadcast in collaboration with Ibrahim Azab, presented in this West London flat surrounded by a future urban regeneration project.
