Скачать или смотреть Repositorium, Thomas Buckley at Frequency Festival 2021

Film about the making of Repositorium, where artist and storyteller Thomas Buckley engaged with local communities and archival objects to retell stories of the city through a multi-sensory installation.

At St. Mary le Wigford Church during Frequency Festival 2021, visitors could explore everyday objects (wardrobes, rocking chairs, umbrellas) that offered up some extraordinary stories. As they interacted, each revealed memories hidden inside. Through a playful use of scent and immersive technology, light artist and storyteller Thomas Buckley inspired a feeling of connection.

This commission has been supported by funding from the High Streets Heritage Action Zones Cultural Programme and is part of Digital Democracies.
