Nicky Bird: Beneath the Surface/Hidden Place - Stills

Gathering together family snaps, historical records and oral accounts, Nicky Bird has been collaborating with individuals and groups from communities across Scotland to unearth personal histories whose physical traces are on the brink of erasure. This new body of photographic works investigates the simultaneously precarious and powerful nature of memory while exploring how photography and archaeology can be incorporated in both literal and metaphorical ways to speak of history.

Beneath the Surface / Hidden Place will continue to evolve throughout 2008 with a diverse programme of events, exhibitions and site-specific installations across Scotland. The project will culminate in a publication to be launched in Spring 2009.

Collaborators: Alexander Brown, Karen Hamilton, Drew Johnstone, Mary Kennedy, Jan McTaggart & George McTaggart, Martin Peter, Mark Scott and Lesley Weir.
