A film created for Signal Film and Media as part of West Coast Photo festival (2020 - 2021)
In 1982 Chris Killip captured Boy with Pigeon while in Askam-in-Furness, a classic work depicting a young boy proudly clutching a bird, looking up and above the camera lens. Chris Killip sadly passed away last year; for this show, local photographer Phillip Green revisits the image, echoing Chris’s tender visual sensibility across the years. The new work depicts the same boy — now a man — once again holding a pigeon.
