LedgeLore is an analogue photography and moving-image exhibition exploring skateboarding, folklore, and the camera's role in turning ordinary places into legend. Shot entirely on film, the work sits somewhere between documentary, mythology, and memory.
Working in analogue, Kirsty traces this mythology across four distinct geographical landscapes: the granite of Cornwall, the engineered grids of Milton Keynes, the sun-bleached origin stories of California, and the old stone of Bordeaux.
"I wanted to know what makes a skatable location mythical, and whether the media is doing the mythmaking, or just reporting on it." — Dr Kirsty Smith
Join us at Field System on Sunday 23rd August to meet the artist and celebrate this new, groundbreaking exhibition.
