Martha Horn is an artist living and working in London.
︎
My work explores prediction and speculation and their often uneasy relationship with fiction — how do the narratives we construct around the past populate the present and the future? With my recent film Slow Motors, I deconstructed the tightly-scripted world of neo-noir cinema through the lens of debt and contingent futures. Debt becomes a way of making the future predictable, while credit scores project past inequalities into the present.
