Churchyard Row (2003)

The camera rotates around a run down London street corner, keeping a tree as it's main focal point. As the camera turns back on itself, two men are seen leaning against a building. A dog stares back at the camera while a warning is spelt out in graffiti on the fence. Viewers find themselves poised, waiting for something to happen. As with Jay's Garden, Malibu and Lawson Estate, Lewis uses subtle innuendos to build suspense and hint at the hidden underworlds of everyday life.
