Her presentation of the project she has been directing which is now being exhibited in the Cooper Gallery was astounding. Anyone with proud working class ancestors would be romanced by this story, project, exhibition and the films. I say ancestors as I feel as though the manual work shown in most of these films is not the basis of a proud working class culture in Britain anymore. It has been dismantled. But before I become ensnared in a monologue regarding the interaction between identity, culture, class and politics in the UK today I shall stop and concentrate on the fascination of the films. It is such a simple concept. Film work in work take on a high quality camera for upto 2 minutes. Perhaps it is the very restrictive nature and breadth of situations and people who have taken up the challenge that create such a riveting body of work. I am reminded that simplicity of process coupled with ambition in concept is winning formula. The other astounding aspect of the work is the length of time and dedication of the artists who have produced it. I am going to look forward to spending time in the exhibition and learning so much more.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Antje Ehmann<\/strong>\u00a0is a curator and artist based in Berlin.
