The movie Everybody in The Place: An Incomplete History of Britain 1984-1992 (2018) outlines the history of the movement that, starting from the 1980s, led to the rise of the phenomenon of acid house music and rave parties, against the backdrop of the profound political and economic changes of the time in the United Kingdom and elsewhere. The archive materials and the oral story underlying the film (built on a lesson held by Jeremy Deller in front of a group of London students) show the phenomenon of collective catharsis, stimulated by the desire to free oneself from the rigidity of cultural production and fruition in a stagnant, fractured and unfair society, in search of alternative and previously unexplored forms of resistance and opposition. The artist reconstructs the stages of a multidimensional parable that connects US cities, the British Caribbean communities, the towns and the countryside, the miners’ strikes, the abandoned industrial warehouses, the new age travelers, and the hedonism of the 1980s, in a composite historical excursus full of suggestion.
