Beatrice Gibson

 
Beatrice Gibson (born 1978) is an artist and filmmaker based in London. Investigating the utterances that form people and place, Gibson's practice explores voice, speech, collective production and the problems of their representation. Employing the score as a paradigm for production, Gibson's film scripts are developed through open ended compositional structures, that are, to varying degrees, given over to a collective apparatus. Subsequent material is then edited into a form of notation to be restaged. The resulting films, meticulous and formal portraits of exisiting landscapes and the voices that inhabit them, work to complicate notion of document. Her last film made in collaboration with Alex Waterman, A Necessary Music, won the Tiger Award for best short at the Rotterdam Film Festival in 2009
