Current: Sites of Desire Featured presentation available at https://thenewutopians.wordpress.com/ The Road to Middle England/Living the Dream This is an animation series which parodies the English obsession with social mobility. The films explore the ideology of social progression from the perspective of those that are in unskilled work or faced with the prospect of unemployment. The first story follows an unnamed jobseeker, faced with a mandatory work trial to continue his entitlement to social welfare. The second follows a call centre worker undergoing rehabilitation for a sudden lapse in self-motivation. A dystopian nightmare unfolds as humiliation becomes a necessary experience of class progression.
