'The video is based on a series of interviews on the streets of Camden in North London, where the artist asks passersby, "What is your best-before date?" The respondents replied with dates that were chosen due to incidents of victory, hope, disappointment, and even death. The video was made both in memory of 1997 and to pay a farewell tribute to the Oil Street Artist Village and the art groups' resettlement to the Cheung Sha Wan Abattoir.'
