Light Up Queen Street, City of London, 2004 ongoing

Mark Lewis, Rush Hour, Morning and Evening, 2005-6
Mark Lewis is an artist-filmmaker, and often focuses in his short and silent films on the descriptive and pictorial qualities of this medium. His film for Queen Street was shot in the local area on 35mm at the time of year when the sun creates longest shadows. It follows the everyday morning and evening rush hour, pedestrians and passers-by becoming unknowing actors within this short narration of an everyday event. For Light Up Queen Street the film was inverted and projected at two sites in the area on different scales, Prudent Passage and St.Mary-le-Bow churchyard.
