The Fair | UK 2013 | HD | 2 min 47s
Filmed from the quiet edges of a city centre car park in Sheffield. The Fair documents the rotating arm of a fairground ride appearing and then disappearing behind old industrial buildings and the John Lewis department store. As the arm rotates we hear the people on the ride screaming.
