What if Cinema was a Place? Singin’ in the Rain as an Imaginary Cityscape by Sam Burford

The background to the whole project ultimately begins with my childhood experiences of visiting my grandmother and playing with a set of coloured wooden blocks - I’ve still got them in the original bag, though they’re looking a bit faded these days.
 

 Sam Burford writes about his project for Forage Press.
