John – Thomas Abercromby

Part of Collective’s Satellites Programme, Thomas Abercromby’s ‘John’ is a moving image work that explores the intricate ties between family, grief and the multifaceted layers of social class. The work juxtaposes childhood paintings made by the artist’s late father with opulent gallery interiors, painterly images of urban landscapes, and behind-the-scenes moments of the film’s all-working-class cast and crew.
