Lost to View:
Film installation
This is more recent work that illustrates the integration of craft based media such as letterpress, illustration and hand produced photograms with digital media. The love of literary narrative has been developed and the transformation of written narrative to visual is key to my practice as is collaboration.
Susanna Edwards, Katharina Koall and Martin McGrath present a form of visual navigation through Iain Sinclair's book London: City of Disappearances (2006). Using words and images that provide a secret reading of London, and bringing together different media including illustration, photography, letterpress, drawing and animation in a digital presentation, the artists have illustrated selected references from the book which are linked to people, places, buildings, objects, memories, quotes and actions.This first showing of Lost to View at Late at Tate Britain and the Museum of London in November 2006 celebrated the publication of London – City of Disappearances

A book of disappearances, memories and photographs that travels through time and location. Different people from the contemporary art, film and literary worlds were asked to contribute their stories and they were amassed and edited by Ian Sinclair into thematic zones. Journeys that link, some real, some imaginary. The book’s starting point was a story about a photograph that haunts a man, taken in Trafalger Square. There is an object linked to each story.
