Loch Long

In this solo exhibition Rhona Mühlebach turns her attention to the role played by ecology in narrative construction. Here, the natural environment functions as a living archive and mnemonic device. The history, the water and the inhabitants of Loch Long (a sea loch on the West Coast of Scotland) are the parameters of the multi-screen video installation.

Loch Long is a play. The characters are Ruth - the swimmer, Martha - the scientist, Augusto Alfredo Roggen - the spy, Mhairi - the victim and the chattering Chorus. They live in a world where body and voice are separate entities that are not tied together. Identity crisis abound.
