One of a series of fanciful compositions. This pays tribute to the family of my wife, Esther Kohn-Bentley. The photographs include those who perished in the Nazi Holocaust and those who by grace, wisdom, and great courage survived.

I’ve housed them arbitrarily within a fantastical apartment building, topped by the cupola of the Kiever Shul in Kensington Market, and wafted across the sky by a balloon.

My visual inspirations were:

• The stunning flying houses of Laurent Chéhère.

• The work of Jerome Conway, who creates compiled images so beautifully integrated that they appear to be other-worldly paintings.

• Terry Gilliam’s remarkable animations in Monty Python’s Flying Circus from 1969-74.
