'Icarus (after Amelia) is a gendered labour study. Beginning in the clouds above the city of Glasgow and continuing to the workplace below, this film is a meditation on ideologies of work; on fixed perspectives, horizons, love, and theoretical determinants.
First and foremost a deconstruction of contemporary life through the lens of feminist economic theory, Icarus (after Amelia) is an effort to present audiences with an emotive, intuitive discussion of value, production and hope within the ‘family’ and wider community in Britain. Responding to research and relationships through an intimate process of making and discussion, this body of work traces and archives a period of dramatic change in the UK in 2020/21.’ — LUX
‘Salmon studies how gender is implicated in production as she stages the complex relationship between labour and visibility’ — Laura Guy
