Vision Quest depicts Marcus Coates’ three-year collaboration with a neighbourhood in Elephant & Castle (South London) that is suffering from a violent gentrification scheme. In this period the artist engaged in a shamanic quest to locate animal spirits able of guiding the community. Practising lengthily rites, the artist together with residents, local politicians and a psychedelic doom rock orchestra, appeal to guardian animals to appear in visions or dreams and to guide them in their troubled housing issues.
