Study for North Bridge

Study for North Bridge is a new moving image commission from artists Rachel McBrinn and Jonathan Webb which responds to Edinburgh’s North Bridge. Following in a tradition of artworks commissioned by the city to document and commemorate one of Edinburgh’s most historically significant landmarks, the film places the bridge’s current restoration in its historical context, from its original build in the 1760s and the political and social backdrop of the developing city around it.

This work is part of a series of arts legacy projects commissioned by the City of Edinburgh Council on the occasion of the North Bridge refurbishment.
