Fergus Carmichael’s moving image practice explores contemporary interaction with tradition, landscape and folk culture. Through durational case studies he investigates how communities seek to access spaces that engage with notions of local identity and interrogate what role these narratives play within wider environmental and political climates. Carmichael has screened and exhibited works internationally at film festivals such as Oberhausen and Kassel.
