Changes – Tilda Swinton Oeuvre Talk

Creating the exhibition Tilda Swinton – Ongoing in Eye is a significant part of the conversation: what choices did Tilda Swinton face when she was invited to translate a 39-year career for the exhibition space?

Swinton also talks about the importance of her roots in Scotland and her love of Scottish nature. She compares her career to the growth of the trees in the garden of her castle: their roots lie with Derek Jarman and Joanna Hogg, from there sprouting a sturdy trunk and branches that stand for all the inspirational collaborations that followed. The resulting films are the fruit that we, the audiences, pluck and share.
