Opening Wednesday, September 17th, from 6 PM - 7:30 PM
We Must Live!
UK-based artist Bridget Smith works with photography, video and site-specific installations to explore the relationship between the real and the imagined within social and architectural spaces.
Her artwork addresses our conflicted desire to feel both connected and transported: within society, the landscape and the wider universe. Smith’s approach to photography interweaves multiple positions: analogue and digital, still and moving, and the photograph as both sculpture and object.
In her talk she discusses her practice and its broad approach to recurring and evolving themes, taking in still photography, documentary films and site-specific installations. Her video, ‘We Must Live!’ is part of the exhibition, Channeling body ← Image → viewer at the Museum of Contemporary Photography, Sep 2 – Dec 20.
Smith is represented by Frith Street Gallery, London. She has exhibited widely over the past 30 years including at Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; V&A Museum, London; Musee D’Art Contemporain, Paris and Centre de Arte Salamanca, Spain. Her artworks are held in numerous collections at home and abroad.
