Screened at the 'Without Border" Film Festival, Rome, 2010.
Touring internationally since 2008, Play Me, I'm Yours is an artwork by artist Luke Jerram .
Presented for the City of London Festival and Sing London in 2009, 30 pianos were installed on streets, in public squares and parks, train stations, and markets. Like a creative blank canvas, the pianos were there for any member of the public to play and engage with. The pianos were in place for three weeks, after which time they were donated to local schools and community groups.
Questioning the ownership and rules of public space 'Play Me, I'm yours' is a provocation, inviting the public to engage with, activate and take ownership of their urban environment.
This short documentary was shot by Azim Moollan and Chiara Frisone during the balmy British summer of 2009. It attempts to capture the incredible atmosphere that the street pianos created around them. The pianos were played by all sorts of people, be they established artists or city traders on their lunch breaks who haven't touched a piano since they left school. The most amazing thing is that the street pianos get people talk to each other, sing, dance and of course, play.
It was a pleasure to spend two weeks filming pianos and interviewing people across London.
A special thanks goes to Luke Jerram, the artist who created this wonderful piece of art.

Love it! Wish something like this would come to Scotland, it's great to see people showcase their talents, who would never normally perform (:
