Synopsis

Inspired by Robert Tressell's classic novel, The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists, Building For Babylon offers an irreverent 'true life' accounts of life on the 'buildings' 100 years later. Ironically, the Wises developed an anti-art ethos while at art school, under the influence of Surrealist and Situationist ideas. When prospects for social revolution faded in the 1970s, the Wises dug out their tools and formed a building workers collective. They describe how what passes for modern Art lives on in the phantasmagoric world of the construction industry and its rackets.
