Speakers' Corner: PROFESSIONAL NOBODIES
- 5 years ago
PROFESSIONAL NOBODIES is intended as a Tribute to ALL the Hyde Park orators down the decades.
Whereas there is no ‘structure’ and given that "Speakers’ Corner” COULD be regarded as the first ‘happening’ it has to be born in mind that, whatever visitors long or short term, however many visits by however many tourists, whether people mocked or marvelled ~ it is the unsung, unrecognised, unknown SPEAKERS ~ it is the Orators who have made and continue to make (albeit in a diminished way) …the cultural experience and ‘accidental’ phenomenon POSSIBLE.
“This video features snippets from three other Orators. My section at the end was poor, in large part because my videographer of this particular Sunday ~ Finn Barr Hagan ~ repeatedly interjected and effectively 'talked over’ me …so my section is disjunctive because it had to be heavily edited.”
