Sheep-Walk 10 (A history of two women named Elizabeth)

Mismatching still images of Scottish council flats with an audio track featuring a news report on Balmoral Castle, this experimental montage draws from the lived history of two women named Elizabeth, namely Queen Elizabeth II (1926-1922) and my late grandmother Elizabeth Hogg (1923-2003). Using images of the working-class housing estates in which my grandmother raised her children with a soundtrack detailing the Queen's life on her Scottish estate, the montage contrasts prevailing notions of equality and democracy in relation to the British class system as analyzed by cultural theorist Mark Fisher.
