GF Ramsay (b. 1988, Dundee, Scotland) is an artist working with poetry, ritual and analogue filmmaking. In 2017 & 2018 he burned hundreds of people’s regrets inside volcanoes across Eurasia. His fake epic poem Raven’s Reprise (2020) tells of a trickster raven travelling through the pandemic and remaking the world to her better designs. His short film CASTOROCENE (2021) sees beavers re-build the world after humans have destroyed it. Mid length film Family Fugue (2022) is about how we are haunted by, and in turn haunt our ancestors. Nursted, from the sleep side (2023) and Flesh, Wax & Glass (2023) deal with the idea of a house falling asleep, and the complexities of filming sacred rituals respectively. He is currently making plans to have his body thrown into a volcano after he dies. In 2023 he was shortlisted for the Margaret Tait Award and his work has been presented at Art Basel (CH), Barbican (UK), Beijing People’s Art Theatre (CN), BFI Southbank (UK), Camden Arts Centre (UK), Matadero (SP), Meyerhold Centre (RU), Mubi.com, NTS Radio, L’Orto Botanico di Roma (IT), LUX Scotland (SC), Rupert Residency (LT), Atletika (LT), SODAS 2123 (LT).
