The subject of the latest work by artist and filmmaker Verity-Jane Keefe is the demolition of three social housing blocks in Dagenham. Shot as a series of long, composed frames, the film depicts - in a brutally matter-of-fact way - the forlorn moment when homes become rubble. A digger slams through the wall of a living room, tipping PVC windows and wiring into the abyss. Bathrooms, still tiled, crumble awkwardly into staircases. Outside, concrete dust cascades down the facade as serene as a waterfall.
