Four meals away
Discovery Museum, Newcastle upon Tyne, 10-24 February 2016
"Britain is only ever four meals away from anarchy", MI5
We were commissioned to make this work by Tyne & Wear Archives and Museums (TWAM). The video element was recorded at the Newcastle West End Film Bank during the period Ken Loach was filming I Daniel Blake.
The final work showed a section of a family kitchen containing only the contents of a food parcel designed to last them for three days. The cupboards were shockingly bare and fridge entirely empty. A TV on the benchtop played a loop of the film we made about the food bank.
With thanks to the Newcastle West
End Foodbank, BB Trade Kitchens
& Bathrooms and SITA UK.
