I grew up in the rich but deeply divided borough of Kensington and Chelsea, on the top floor of a flat in Earls Court. Neighbours were strangers but through the window I would watch people’s domestic lives play out like a scene from Hitchcock’s ‘Rear Window’. London is fascinating as on one hand there are buildings that have stood in the same spot for centuries and on the other hand the neighborhood’s are changing rapidly and it’s this juxtaposition that interests me. I hunt through archives and films for imagery and nostalgically re-appropriate them to form new narratives. I am particularly inspired by films of the British New Wave. Despite these films being set in the late 1950s, the peeling wallpaper, overcrowded housing and domestic dramas depicted in these films are still relevant today. https://annettefernando.carbonmade.com
