Obstructions of King’s Cross

This is my symposium film. Over the past few weeks I’ve been filming obstructions around the King’s Cross development, the stations and the areas on its periphery. I have used a combination of static on my mini camera and moving shots on my iPhone with a gymbal. I tried to include a couple of interviews but they didn’t really work.

I grouped the obstructions by their form and prescription (Latour) into a kind of moving image catalogue. I gave the groups keywords, and used those to create a storyboard.

I am also looking at an occasional split screen as a way of exploring similarities or tensions between certain obstructions.
