Film and Performance

Mary Wollstonecraft (played by Di Sherlock) was invited by Fragments & Monuments to Di’s Midsummer Night Party (2000), a millennium extravaganza set in a 19th-century house where she met a host of celebrities and marvelled at the development of the photograph, something she had never seen as an 18th-century woman. Filmed during its live performance, Di’s Midsummer Night Party was projected onto the front of Clissold House, Stoke Newington, one year later.
