Oblivion
Based in the V&A's photographic archive of Harry Hammond, Oblivion plays a hidden narrative on each picture.
Each of the original pictures was taken around the United Kingdom from the 40's to the 60's, showed a famous personality from the showbusiness at that time.
I started the preparation for an interview with Harry Hammond in 2008. After several meetings and contacts we were going to start filming it at the beginning of March in London. Harry died the 4th of February in Manchester.
"An eternal state of oblivion, or lack of awareness, is believed by some to occur after death."
