- This output is a screen-based installation which contributed to the 2016 Anniversary Celebrations of the 400-year anniversary of the Queen’s House building in Greenwich, London, UK. The output was first made publicly available between March – November 2017.

The core intent was to deliver a research outcome that would be presented in or around its location; that it would reinforce a connection with place; and finally that it would be as accessible and relevant to an international audience as well as for the local community. With this in mind, I established the following overarching research question:
“How can I take storytelling beyond the confines of the building and make a connection with place?”
My aim was to reveal, as if through a collective memory, 400 years of urban development. While intending to entertain I also sought to encourage learning and contemplation.
This short film reveals to the viewer the significance of the location of Queens House and how the site is part of a landscape possessing the necessary geographical landmarks to make it of unique strategic importance. In its panoramic sweep it encompasses all of maritime Greenwich and celebrates the unique nature of these interconnected sites; Royal Park, Observatory, Naval College, Museum and Cutty Sark, collectively known as “Maritime Greenwich”.
