Alan Abrahams, Transitions Visual Arts

A local neighbourhood seen through fresh eyes in a series of short films shot in and around Redbridge by the artist Alan Abrahams.

Artist Alan Abrahams, who is based in Paris, spent four days walking the streets of Redbridge, capturing the borough's urban landscape, noticing its architectural gems, hidden alleyways, green spaces and communityHe discovered a place which, despite the rapid change of recent years, has a rich cultural and environmental heritage

Shot in cinematic widescreen and enhanced through cross-processed imagery, Alan's film series offers a striking, immersive glimpse beneath the surface of the everyday worldEach piece is paired with a bespoke, emotionally resonant soundtrack, composed to complement the visual journeyTo deepen the experience, Alan invited local poets and writers to respond to the films and music, capturing their reflections, emotions, and insightsTheir spoken word performances were then woven into the soundtracks, creating a layered, evocative fusion of sight, sound, and spoken thought

This is a sensory tapestry that invites audiences to see and feel in new ways, to see beyond the mundane, where the ordinary and everyday transitions into something that resonates with us on a deeper level.
