Archäologie (CDLXXXIX): David Hemmings, Blow-Up and the Red Buildings on the Stockwell Road - Talkin' About The Good Times
Wirklich nur für Hardcore-Archäolog/inn/en (wo muss da noch ein * hin?): Another Nickel In The Machine (ein großartiger blog about 20th century London, its history, its culture and its music) hat schon vor längerer Zeit diesen wunderbaren Beitrag veröffentlicht. Ich hatte das übersehen:
- Archäologie CCXCVIII : Perfect Couples. Und der notorische Verdacht aus dem Film Blow Up, dass man eine Leiche findet, wenn man die Bilder nur größer macht
- The Art of Cinema
+ Great British 7" Freakouts: The Pretty Things (Anorak Thing)

- David Hemmings driving on the Stockwell Road in Blow-Up.
STOCKWELL ROAD isn’t the most exciting and handsome of roads. It may have been once, but the Luftwaffe and the subsequent, typical unimaginative post-war redevelopment put paid to that. It’s got a skateboard park, if that’s your thing, and David Bowie was born in a road just off it, but even he moved to Bromley when he was six. And that’s about it, to most people, even if they live there, it’s just a road that joins up Stockwell and Brixton.
If you walk towards the Brixton end, however, and you stop and look carefully at the end of a terrace, you can see a tiny bit of maroon-ish red paint showing through some peeling cream emulsion. It’s the remnants of a lot of red paint and a clue that in the winter of 1966 this road made a glamorous appearance, alongside David Hemmings, the model Veruschka, and Vanessa Redgrave, in THE swinging Sixties film – Michelangelo Antonioni’s Blow-Up... Ansehen!!
