There But Not There, Leicester Cathedral


The visually striking There But Not There is the 2018 Armistice project for the charity Remembered.
Each clear silhouette represents local fallen wherever they are listed. The project aims to place a representative figure for every name on local war memorials around the country, into their place of worship, their school, their workplace or wherever their absence was keenly felt, back in the communities they left behind.
The project aims to Commemorate, Educate and Heal the three aims of the remembered charity.
My film features the project installed in Leicester cathedral and commemorates and remembers those who fell in the city and county of Leicester and Leicestershire, we start outside the cathedral before entering St George's Chapel inside the cathedral. The chapel, enclosed by a carved wooden screen, was reconstructed in 1921 and contains memorials to the men of the Royal Leicestershire Regiment, regimental colors are displayed along one side of the chapel.
My film shows the clear silhouettes reflecting the light and their surroundings creating an effect that makes them both there but not there at the same time.
We also see the names of a few of the fallen in the books of remembrance,

To those in battle,
To those who fell,
To all who`ve served their country well,
We will remember them.
