A Forest for the Neighbours
Charlotte Prodger, 2010, UK, 16mm, 5'
Charlotte Prodger works as a DJ to sustain her art practice. A Forest for the Neighbours relates an anecdote, told to her during one of her DJ shifts, about a teenage goth in a Scottish new town in 1980 performing the song A Forest by The Cure to her neighbours through her bedroom window. Prodger plays with how an anecdote can transmutate through time and space: the historical moment of the anecdote, the retelling of the story and the act of making a film about it.
