Do you know where is the Hoxton Distillery?
Single channel digital video, 2 mins 40 secs looped, 2001.
A camera panned 360 degrees from a fixed position documenting Hoxton Street in London. This was outside the Macbeth Pub, once home to the 'Hoxton Distillery' gallery. The artists, Michelle Deignan and Simon Goodwin, stood behind the camera and while the camera slowly panned they talked and continued to move out of view. A french couple, dressed in black, walk up to them and ask: "Do you know where is the Hoxton Distiilery?". The artists reply: "In the pub", much to the amusement of the art enthusiasts. We see this couple make their way to the pub. For the rest of the duration of the piece the artists' are careful to remain silent remaining attentive to the sounds around them.
