This exhibition showcases Moffatt’s most recent major body of work, ‘Spirit Landscapes’ (2013), completed after spending 12 years in New York. It comprises five photographic series and a moving image work. Each addresses aspects of her relationship to place, delineating landscapes of the mind and spirit. Alongside these works, Moffatt has selected works from the QAGOMA Collection that are displayed in dialogue with her works.
‘Spirit Landscapes’ is an extended meditation on how we inhabit places and are inhabited by them. Moffatt’s point-of-view landscape shots merge with superimposed floating images of her body to convey the experience of physically connecting with the land.
