Perfect World

Everyday can become potentially extra-ordinary – not by eclipsing the everyday, or imagining that we can leap beyond it to some higher level of cognition of action but by fully appreciating and activating the possibilities that lie hidden, and typically repressed within it.”
John O’Neil

Perfect World is a project that explores diverse perspectives around themes that are central to social life – globalisation, war, love and perfection. Participants from different backgrounds were invited to reflect aspects of our complex society through recorded conversations. In the film featured here I worked with Angela Hind to invite passersby in West Bromwich to respond to questions such as: ‘Is it possible for us to transform the world into a better place? What about love and human nature? Are you happy?’

Perfect World was commissioned as part of Bit Parts that showcased a range of digital media projects, and funded by ACE WM
