Sallis Benney Theatre
London writers and cultural commentators Will Self, Iain Sinclair and Russell Brand explore the importance of the liminal spaces at the city’s fringe, its Edgelands, through the work of enigmatic and downright eccentric writer and researcher Nick Papadimitriou – a man whose life is dedicated to exploring and archiving areas beyond the high street and the retail park. At Wormwood Scrubs, Nick remembers his time inside where he befriended the notorious serial killer Denis Nilsen. He walks the Grand Union Canal with his friend of 23 years, Will Self, as they head out towards Heathrow and he takes us inside his archive, Deep Library, consisting of found objects, journals, maps and photos salvaged from abandoned houses and suburban skips. “The cinema of John Rogers is like a combination of…the physicality of Kötting with the Deep Topography of Keiller.” - Iain Sinclair
Q&A: Followed by Q&A with director John Rogers and Nick Papadimitriou
