Damaged Goods by Barnaby Barford
London based artist Barnaby Barford has developed a short film called Damaged Goods, portraying a love story between an upmarket porcelain figurine, and a cheap ornament of a boy that ends the worst way it can for a piece of china.
In this tragic love story played out by porcelain figurines on the back shelves of a bric-a-brac shop, a poor, down-at-heel boy falls for a beautiful girl with shattering consequences.

A classic boy meets girl tale with shattering consequences. On the cluttered floor of a bric-a-brac shop a poor, down-at-heel boy looks up to the top shelf to see a beautiful girl in tears amongst the crystal and silver. Played out by porcelain figurines and accompanied by an especially composed score, the story follows the boy’s attempt to rescue the girl – and the tragedy that inevitably occurs when high culture falls for low.

Damaged Goods is a stop-frame and 2D animated film commissioned by Channel 4 sponsored Animate Projects, in association with Arts Council England. You can watch the full version film here.
