Lucy Beech, Me and Mine (2015)

We're excited to be presenting Lucy Beech’s 2015 FVU-commissioned work Me and Mine on FVU Watch this month. The business of Death is a solemn affair, and its rhythms and rituals can also feel timeless, permanent, set in stone. But the contemporary funeral industry is changing, embracing alternative practices, acknowledging different voices, and, as Lucy Beech’s film bears witness, increasingly fronted and influenced by women. Pivoting around an annual awards event at which the growing contribution of women to the sector is celebrated, Me and Mine records this transformation, but also pauses to reflect on what else these changes might be said to signify.

Read writer Naomi Pearce's accompanying text to Me and Mine, exploring themes of Death, gender, and community in the work, here.
