The Struggle II: Opening Up
2016
Opening Up situates the reflections on the historical shifts in subjectivity through the narratives of people who grew up in the military. Merging shot footage from Catterick Garrison in Yorskshire and Otterburn, Northumberland with internet sourced combat footage Garfield asks questions about the destabilization of 20th Century certainties through the people who grew up on various military outposts: stragglers to historical forces such as Northern Ireland and Germany.
