On Weaving

A collaborative film by artists Luke Fowler and Corin Sworn that reflects on the legacy of textile designer Bernat Klein (1922-2014). Born in Serbia, Klein emigrated to the UK in the post-war period and based his textile manufacturing business in the Scottish Borders. Developed as part of a residency at Alchemy Film & Arts, the film weaves together two portraits: of the region’s famous textile industry and of High Sunderland, the modernist house that Peter Womersley designed for Klein near Selkirk – a house “stitched” into the Scottish landscape that inspired Klein’s textile designs.
