Career

Prodger works with "moving image, printed image, sculpture and writing". Her film Stoneymollan Trail is a compilation of scenes made since the late 1990s using "old camcorder, HD and more recent iPhone footage". Her film Bridgit addresses issues of queer identity and was shot using an iPhone.
In 2017 Prodger undertook the Berwick Artists' Moving Image Residency, where she developed LHB, a new single-screen work for cinema that premiered at Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival 2017.
In 2018 she won the Turner Prize for an exhibition of Bridgit and Stoneymollan Trail at Bergen Kunsthall in Norway. Between 11 May – 24 November 2019 she was presented by Scotland + Venice at the Arsenale Docks as part of the 58th Venice Biennale. As part of the Collateral Events, Scotland + Venice commissioned Charlotte Prodger to create SaF05 , a new single channel video work to be screened across seven cinemas and art centres in Scotland. The UK premiere was held at The Tower Digital Arts Centre in Argyll & Bute on 27 June 2019. The work shown is the last of a trilogy that began with Stoneymollan Trail followed by BRIDGIT. The work was curated by Linsey Young in partnership with Alexia Holt of Cove Park, where the work was developed.
