Description
Ingrid Pollard: Carbon Slowly Turning explores the work of British artist and photographer Ingrid Pollard, nominated for the Turner Prize 2022. This publication provides the first overview of her practice, which combines meticulous research and experimental processes to create art that is both deeply personal and socially resonant. Pollard's work often questions our relationship with the natural world and social constructs such as Britishness, race, sexuality, and identity. Her use of portrait and landscape photography invites us to reflect on geological time in relation to human time, highlighting the cyclical nature of history and human experience. This book offers a unique insight into Pollard's practice, which has spanned four decades and re-scripted Britishness, looking back in order that we might move forward differently.
