From 23 July to 30 July, Spike Island is streaming Charlotte Prodger’s 2015 video Stoneymollan Trail, which was presented as an installation for the first time at Spike Island in Prodger’s solo exhibition titled 8004-8019.
About
Named after an ancient ‘coffin road’ on the west coast of Scotland, Charlotte Prodger’s Stoneymollan Trail traces a history of recent video formats as well as the artist’s personal history. The resulting single-screen video work is a meditation on memory, subjectivity and desire.
The Margaret Tait Award-winning film was the artist’s first single screen work, marking a departure from previous multi-monitor installations. Prodger’s feature-length video revolves around the idea of screens and how they measure and mediate subjectivity.
Stoneymollan Trail comprises material from multiple formats that includes an archive of miniDV tapes that Prodger shot between 1999 and 2004, footage captured on her iPhone and HD camera, recorded voiceover and screenprinted graphic forms. The resulting single-screen video work is a meditation on memory, subjectivity and desire.
