Jane and Louise Wilson’s best shot: a photograph of an aircraft engine in a factory in Derby
It looks like it’s floating, but in fact this aircraft engine, which weighs five tonnes, is hanging from the ceiling. We saw it this year when we were scouting the Rolls Royce factory in Derby, a city that has long been a centre for manufacture and transport. In recent years, Derby has also become one of the main centres for Bosnian refugees. We wanted to animate their oral history using imagery that related to modes of displacement: planes, trains and transportation.
