Ode to Hill and Adamson

I just stumbled across this wonderful and clever little video. Artist Maisie Broadhead  was inspired to recreate a photograph originally produced in 1844....

1844 original photo

The following text was lifted directly from the vimeo entry  describing this effort...

Artist Maisie Broadhead originally trained as a jeweller and now produces fine art photographic parodies. Her work is being featured as part of a ground-breaking exhibition at the National Gallery. As part of the exhibition Jack Cole and Maisie Broadhead directed a video to be hung next to the 1844 photographic print by Hill and Adamson that it references. It was Produced by Cap Gun Collective, Edited by James Norris at Whitehouse London and Post and VFX by Carbon FX. It recently aired on Channel 4's "Random Acts".
