Using personal recordings discovered on my Grandad's dictaphone when clearing his house following his death, this project explores the theme of absence. The recordings were made while he lived by himself as a widower. The audio recordings detailing his daily activities is embodied by a teenage boy who walks areas of Tottenham reservoir system in North London close to where my Grandad grew up some 90 years earlier. His isolation in the landscape is mirrored in the tone and context of the recordings.

This film was created for installation to play on a projected loop.
