Confidential Annex: 16 - 20

“A confidential annex is a supplementary document to a public or main document that contains sensitive, secret, or private information which is not intended for public disclosure. This information might include trade secrets, personal details, or details that could damage a state party or infringe on a party's intellectual property rights. Confidential annexes are used in various contexts, including legal judgments, international treaties, and business contracts, to protect the information while still allowing it to be part of the overall record or agreement.”

This project is a variety of footage shot and compiled on a multitude of devices, from second hand 2000s camcorders, mobile phones and body cameras over the course of 4 years. From the ages of 16 to 20, I unintentionally compiled an archive of events in my life, that would turn out to be significant. From the depths of the Stop HS2 campaign and the daily violence faced at the hands of bailiffs, police, private security and illegal tree surgeons to the unlawful Riot Police raid and eviction on a place I called home. From the streets of central London and the protests that regularly clambered through to the mass trespass of Stonehenge. From all nighters out at raves, graffiti cans in hands and tip toeing from the law to bruised and black eyes and surviving with PTSD. This video is a journey through the highs and lows of living on the fringes of normality. These are the events and memories that made and shaped me.

Including footage from but not limited to: Stop HS2 campaign, Denham Ford Protection Camp, Stonehenge mass tresspass, Squat parties/raves, Palestine demonstrations, Woman. Life.
