Maud Craigie - Indications of Guilt, pt.1

About

South Kiosk are pleased to present Indications of Guilt, pt.1 by Maud Craigie. Indications of Guilt, pt.1 examines the structures of American police interrogation and their relationship to fictional screen representations of law enforcement.
 
In 2017, Craigie travelled to Texas to train in America’s widely used form of psychological interrogation. The techniques used have faced scrutiny in recent years due to high false confession rates. This training provided the raw material for a new body of work, centred around a single channel film.
 
The work combines staged and documentary methods to explore how psychological interrogation can function as a process for creating fiction, whilst ostensibly seeking to establish truth. Indications of Guilt, pt.1 has been exhibited previously at Mirror, Plymouth and at transmediale, Berlin.
 
The show features an essay conversation between Maud Craigie and curator Ben Evans James, first written to coincide with the exhibition of the film at transmediale festival 2021/2. Craigie’s research was supported by the Boise Travel Scholarship, Slade School of Fine Art, 2016.
