Abstract

This short montage explores the interface of personal history and grand history through a juxtaposition of images of the Edinburgh council estate in which my widowed grandmother raised her three children and audio from a news report on the day-to-day life of Queen Elizabeth II at Balmoral Castle. As such, the work connects to the theme in its highlighting of the tension, or stress point, between the lived experience of two institutions, namely the (Scottish) working-class family circa 1965 and the British monarchy.

Martin Fowler's short film (1 minute 14 seconds) features in an issue of this online art magazine themed 'Tipping Point: Exploring the Balance of Power and Stress Points'.
