If This Is No-One's Then It's Ours

Mark Jenkin's short, made in response to a Simon Armitage poem, asks the question: how should we define public space?

In 2013, Turners Warehouse in Cornwall hosted an artist-led exhibition in response to two lines from Simon Armitage’s poem, Give: ‘Of all the public places, dear / To make a scene, I’ve chosen here.’ Jenkin's short asks the question, how should we define public space?

During the exhibition, the film was projected onto a slide screen within the former fish processing factory.
