Post-industrial Dreamscape (Version ii)

A new iteration of Jermaine Francis' video piece 'Lost in Music: A Post-industrial Dreamscape' in zine form. Francis' kaleidoscopic video – with archival and contemporary footage of dancefloors, communities in protest, industrial spaces and urban regeneration – explores issues of race, politics and class, and their existence within the period referred to by Fredric Jameson as Late Capitalism. This publication, in which fragments of the video are 'reversioned' and combined with additional photography is part of an ongoing development of Francis' personal exploration of the post-industrial dreamscape in the United Kingdom, and the West Midlands in particular. The zine includes excerpts of a conversation between the artist and Matt Williams. 135 x 209 mm 50 pages Digitally printed on coated and uncoated paper Wirobind Edition of 150 Photography by Jermaine Francis Text by Jermaine Francis and Matt Williams Press American Suburb X
