Habitat 2190

Habitat 2190 follows the construction of the nature reserve Fort Vert at the site of the so-called “Jungle”, the former refugee camp in Calais, France, addressing the ways in which an imagination of nature is weaponised in the governing of borders, interrogating the intersecting mobilities, rights and co-existence of human and nonhuman life. Commissioned for the Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art as part of the exhibition Fragile Earth: seeds, weeds, plastic crust (29 June - 29 September 2019). Collaboration between Hanna Rullmann and Faiza Ahmad Khan, design by Tom Joyes. Supported by the Elephant Trust.

Night Will Fall

When Allied forces liberated the Nazi concentration camps in 1944-45, their terrible discoveries were recorded by army and newsreel cameramen, revealing for the first time the full horror of what had happened. Making use of British, Soviet and American footage, the Ministry of Information’s Sidney Bernstein (later founder of Granada Television) aimed to create a documentary that would provide lasting, undeniable evidence of the Nazis’ unspeakable crimes. He commissioned a wealth of British talent, including editor Stewart McAllister, writer and future cabinet minister Richard Crossman – and, as treatment advisor, his friend Alfred Hitchcock. Yet, despite initial support from the British and US Governments, the film was shelved, and only now, 70 years on, has it been restored and completed by Imperial War Museums under its original title "German Concentration Camps Factual Survey".
