Back
A triptych portrait of life adrift in the post-industrial peripheries, ‘Fade Away’ sketches out three seemingly disconnected moments on a day and a night in the deep south of London. A young man, off-the-grid, wanders the backstreets in search of something. Three girls reach their limit and act to break free. And a worker, far from home, finds herself something like a role in the city. ls it a prison? Fade Away is a vivid picture of isolation and the experience of feeling lost in a changing landscape: Fade Away is the first video collaboration between Travis Barton and Dylan Coates, a stark exploration of broken dreams, alienation and disenfranchisement through a lens that combines both artists unique visual languages and style. The project was completed in 2023.
