The starting point for The Black Tower was to crowd-source aftermath images of Grenfell Tower. The film opens up an ethic-aesthetic space to consider our networked culture, as well as the concepts of memorialisation and spectacularising that befell Londoners when experiencing this monumental trauma. This event, and its representation, collapsed before our eyes and became something else entirely.
