Souvenir

Working with Iain and Jane again . .! Drawing on strategies of filmmaking and storytelling and pulling from literature, performance, music, visual arts, craft and design, Souvenir is the first in a trilogy of exhibitions Iain and Jane will curate throughout 2026 in the Chapel’s glimmering and profound interior – an enchanting jewel of Byzantine-inspired architecture in the heart of London.

At the heart of Souvenir is Michael Bracewell’s haunting eulogy to the London of the late 1970s and early 1980s; a city poised between the twilight of one era and the dawn of the new digital era. With the novella as its touchstone, this singular exhibition will suspend visitors in an atmospheric state, harnessing the Chapel’s innate magical space as a kind of living keepsake – an architectural memory frozen momentarily outside of time and space.

I am joining, Michael Bracewell, Paul Kaye, Sarah Nicolls and Matthew Healey as invited artists to work on Souvenir.

“London-based artist and filmmaker Sal Pittman will bring her cinematic, site-responsive approach to the exhibition, designing a series of  unique vignettes within the audio environment”
