SPECIAL EDINBURGH In this episode, we are meeting Frieda Ford, along the water of Portobello Beach, near Edinburgh.
« I work in film and performance, abstracting found beauty imagery and combining it with my own footage of private ritualised actions. I create surreal, uncomfortable landscapes that fragment the body and destabilise a passive acceptance of corporeal idealism. I focus on privatised beauty rituals as an activity that creates metaphor and enforces meaning. Every ritual act is performative and generates the possibility for shapeshifting, that is, for creating a new sense of self. Ritual and myth making can rework the past into new perceptions, new meanings and, in doing so, can destabilise and manipulate the real. »
