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. Alongside my practice I work as a Production Coordinator for various projects from artist’s film to HETV.
