- Where are we, Jesse? The answer is not clear.
In this video, artist Jesse Darling and a small film crew go on a road trip across the UK. Passing through seaside towns, container ports, service stations, retail parts and an abandoned airport, this is a journey that encounters at every turn the barriers and borders (both physical and invisible) of modern Britain.
It’s a journey without a final destination, but one that hints at just how complicated and connected, how wonderful and terrible everything is.
Jesse Darling is nominated for the 2023 Turner Prize, hosted by Towner Eastbourne. The winner will be announced on 5 December 2023.

"The apocalypse is already here; it's just unevenly distributed." Most profound thing I've heard anyone say in awhile.
Came here to say the same thing!
While it's a great line it's not original to this film. The earliest source I can find for it online is from someone called Franklin Ginn in 2017, but I'm nearly sure I read it earlier than that, maybe in an essay by Hannah Black or smthng? Anyway it seems to be a twist on William Gibson's similar formulation on the future. Funnily enough it's kinda similar to the "easier to imagine..." line they use later in the film. It's so concise and apt that it proliferates wildly and becomes unattributable, like a proverb.
(Btw I'm not trying to have a clever-clever pop at yourself or Darling or the film or anything here, I think it's great. Just also enjoy thinking about how these chunks of language distribute and get reused and resignified like the piles of trash in the flick.)
@@danieltuomey4859 No, I get it. The idea of communication through speech is already profound. Moments like this just make your mind go kablooey.🤯
And then there are emojis that just ruin everything.
Throughout, Jesse Darling's images and thoughts are inspired and deeply felt.
It's wonderful! I've watched it several times
💩
Great film, well filmed.
I know the view count on such amazing vids is painful to look at, but it's such a powerful feeling of exclusivity for ones who watched. High quality video is made just for 10000 people, and I'm one of them. Thank you so much
Well said! Same.
William Gibson said the future is already here is just unevenly distributed..
And others such as Mark Fisher said the apocalypse is already here ... etc.. too in the work Vanishing Land .. and yes it is !
yahoo!Enjoyed, you uploaded excellent view-adios! 📢
This is special. So wise. Heartbreaking but not entirely hopeless. Thanks Jesse.
There is hope, I hope...
Darling's the 21st C jesus. let's listen to this guy more. he is a light of rationality in the darkness that blinds us all
Who made this film?
Is that a cameo of James Corden around 02:15 ? 😂
What a bunch of dossers.
