Abigail Child: ‘A fictional story composed from an anonymous family archive from 1930s Europe, reconstructed to emphasise gender acculturation in two sisters who play, race, fight, kiss and grow up together under a shadow of oncoming history. I am looking, as always in found material, for the story below the story. At once biography and fiction, history and psychology, The Future Is Behind You excavates gestures to get at the heart of narrative; it seeks a bridge between private and public histories.’
