Landscapes embedded with the scars of time and everyday stories of historical events are reinterpreted to formulate the narratives of Abigail Sidebotham’s films. Abigail Sidebotham graduated from the RCA in 2013 with an MA in Fine Art and has since exhibited internationally. Selected exhibitions and screenings include; HotShoe Gallery, UK, Altitude 1000+ Festival, Switzerland, DOX Centre for Contemporary Art, Czech Republic, Victoria Art Centre, Romania, CSU, Slovakia, Arti et Amicitiae, Holland, KASK, Belgium, Les Recontres International, Gallery Civica, Italy, FID Marseille and Whitechapel Gallery, UK. She is currently developing a film based on her research surrounding the Sea Empress oil spill that interweaves the disaster with the practice of reiki to explore our animistic relationship and cathartic desires surrounding the event.
