A video about Grenfell Tower, resentment and cruelty, 13 mins, 2017
Originally given as a performance at ICA London and CCA Derry-Londonderry as part of The Bad Vibes Club's 'Feeling Bad' events in summer 2017 where Hamish McPherson, Sophie Mallett and Matthew de Kersaint Giraudeau ran workshops and presented performances that looked at the power of negative emotions in political discourse and our everyday lives.
I use ideas and words from Jean Franco's book Cruel Modernity, Achille Mbembe's essay Necropolitics and Marina Warner's essay Back from the Underworld: The Liveliness of the Dead.
