Simon Rattigan is an artist working with moving image media to discover new configurations of history, memory, and personal shared experience. His practice encompasses collecting ephemera, researching archival documents, image making and audio exploring. Forming a synthesis of real and illusory phenomena entering into social, biological and technological histories.

In his work the materiality of digital media, film and video is processed and interlaced to evoke questions of authenticity, hierarchies of knowledge and cultural belonging. Occupying a hybrid ‘in-between space’ in which we materially and psychologically reconstruct and redefine our relationship to the past and other temporal conditions such as causality, potentiality and inevitability.
