Moving Images Within Precarious Structures

Moving Images Within Precarious Structures is an episodic programme of events starting from the proposition that precarity is a condition of artists’ moving image practice that structures not only the ways that moving image is resourced, produced and shared but also the aesthetic and political dimensions of artists’ work. Delivered in partnership with Fine Art Research (School of Fine Art) at the Glasgow School of Art (GSA) and LUX Scotland, the programme examined how ways of making, materialising and thinking the moving image can work in opposition to the conditions, effects and affects of precarity.

Footage from a degraded colour VHS tape shows a medium close up of a drag queen smiling on stage. She wears long dark brown hair, a blue top and dark eye makeup.

Writing

We invited author and director Ingrid Ryberg to respond to Moving Images Within Precarious Structures, framing the programme through her own research and filmmaking practice to consider how different modes of moving image and multiple layers of precarity demonstrate and resist the erasure and loss of intersecting cultural-political struggles.

A colour still of large boulders covered in dark green moss in a forest. The boulders take up most of the frame, and scattered across them are black and white prints in varying positions as though they have been blown by the wind before settling.
