About



George Finlay Ramsay is an artist working between documentary and myth (poetry, films, performance etc).

His projects to date have involved inventing a service to burn people’s regrets inside volcanoes; his own family enacting a medieval morality play; an interview with Mt. Stromboli; beavers rebuilding the world after a cataclysm; the role of a southern Italian flagellant procession in a family’s process of mourning and a sixteenth-century manor house falling asleep.  

He was shortlisted for the Jarman Award 2025 & the Margaret Tait Award in 2023. His work has been presented at PAF Olomouc, Barbican, The Whitechapel Gallery, Rupert Residency and elsewhere.
