60x60 Secs - beyond the rhetoric, behind the headlines

London’s East End has been home to migrant communities for centuries. Nestling in the heart of Brick Lane, a cultural hotspot, the newly opened Vibe Gallery will be host to 60x60 Secs, one-minute film commissions by sixty artists from Britain, India and Pakistan. At the cross roads of where a rich history meets a vibrant present, the location of Vibe Gallery provides an exciting backdrop for the stories told within the films.

Ranging from the comic and abstract to the profound and often provocative, the films unravel unique perspectives, reflecting on ideas of home and boundaries. Presented as a four-screen installation, the films raise important questions, inviting the viewer to consider notions of identity, and what it stands for in the 21st Century.

Photographic intervention: 28 June & 6 July
Between 3 to 6pm, an interactive photographic booth will allow visitors to be photographed and document their thoughts on the meaning of home. Whilst their portrait will become part of the exhibition, a free print will be given as a memento.
