BACKLIT presented its annual group show, which viewed the gallery as a former set for ‘Auf Wiedersehen, Pet’ (1984-86), a comedy-drama television programme which focused on a group of British migrant construction workers who, in the midst of mass social upheaval, travelled to Germany to find work.

The exhibition featured video, sculpture and performance that took the viewer on a journey around the building as a 21st century iteration of the series when Alfred House was the location of ‘Ally Fraser’s Hideout’, a place for unlawful business. The works explored notions of architectural space, transposed narratives, phantasma, and correlations with the current socio-political climate.
