Sunday November 2nd 2014 3.30 – 6.30pm

Lesney’s Ghosts refers to reflections seen in The River Lee Navigation and Hackney Cut, Hackney, East London.
Lesney’s Matchbox Toys Factory was finally demolished in 2010 to make way for a colourful apartment complex, Matchmakers Wharf, the source of many of the images. The video is edited from hundreds of abstract photographs taken within a mile of the site, over 3 years.

Commissioned by Steven McInerney for the launch of Psychè Tropes record label 2014, as a silent movie for performance with a live soundtrack played by Dave Draper.

Doffy Weir, a photographer, has lived in Hackney for 40 years and has a passion for taking abstract and ambiguous photographs of industrial dereliction, and waterways in the east of London. She now edits her obsessional collection into videos.
