Join us for a screening of three works dealing with subjectivity through the lens of technology

2018 Turner Prize winner Charlotte Prodger joins us to present, together for the first time, a trilogy of films that confront complex questions of identity and queerness.

Stoneymollan Trail

Stoneymollan Trail 2015 marked a significant shift in Prodger’s practice - a move away from her previous multi-monitor installations toward the more cinematic logic of single-screen projection.

Named after an ancient ‘coffin road’ on the west coast of Scotland, Stoneymollan Trail traces a history of recent video formats as well as the artist’s personal history.

BRIDGIT

Prodger’s Turner-Prize winning BRIDGIT 2016 takes its title from a Neolithic deity whose name has numerous iterations depending on life stage, locality and point in history.

It was shot entirely on Prodger’s iPhone, which she approaches as a prosthesis or extension of the nervous system, intimately connected to global time, social interaction and work. Body and device become extensions of each other, and the work becomes a unified meditation on shifting subjectivity.

SaF05

The trilogy concludes with SaF05 2019 with which Prodger represented Scotland at the 2019 Venice Biennalle, curated by Linsey Young with Cove Park.

Prodger traces a chronology of intimate gestures and interpersonal connections from prepubescence to the present, inscribed with the incidental details of territorial delineation, sovereignty and land use. SaF05 is named after a maned lioness that figures as a cipher for queer attachment and desire.

The systems of the body are enmeshed with the camera. It’s a kind of symbiosis but also a kind of grappling
