Et in Arcadia Ego
Directed by Sam Ashby, 2018
Super 8, digital transfer, 6 mins
Et in Arcadia Ego observes old, now-defunct public toilets that acted as cruising spots in London. Shot on 8mm to emphasise its plaintive quality, it is an elegy for these lost queer spaces and a pilgrimage to their ruins.
