Lucy Clout

Lucy Clout is a London-based artist whose videos explore themes of loneliness, intimacy, and kinship as made visible through technology and mundane culture. The works utilise quickness and inexpensive scales of production to produce and reproduce minor (disposable or insignificant) speech to think about contemporary embodiment and the construction of the normative social being.

In 2015 she was awarded the Jerwood/Film and Video Umbrella award. Recent solo exhibitions include ZZZ (2020), Humber Street Gallery, Hull; Nurses (2019), Cubitt, London and Solvent Magazine, The Gymnasium, Berwick which was part of a 6-month residency with Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival (2018).  Recent screenings include TACO, London (2022), BIMI, London (2021), 66th International Short Film Festival Oberhausen (2020).
