Matt Hulse

Hulse was commissioned to rephotograph a pivotal scene, shot for shot, from his Super 8mm film On Returning (1989), revisiting the same location (Isle of Mull) along with the film’s original players – himself and his mother. The latter however, now 74 years old and living in Bristol, declined to travel. This is the result.

An affectionate and hilarious reconstruction of the story of The Hippies, Britain’s youngest punk band, formed by artist Matt Hulse and his siblings in 1979.
