OverviewPublic Housing provision was one of the 20th century's redeeming contributions. Recently, public housing as an ideal is a contradictory territory resulting from policies that value entrepreneurial charities or a subsidised private sector over state funded and administered housing. The starting point is a visual essay on the Haggerston West & Kingsland estates in Hackney, in the process of demolition and re-building. The photographs document the spaces left behind when people were moved out. Despite residents living in limbo for over 30 years as refurbishment plans were continuously proposed, shelved and re-proposed, the images highlight their innovative solutions to the difficulties of continuing to live while an idea and a set of buildings were being abandoned around them.The texts contextualise the artists' project through a set of questions.
