Dutch-born Saskia Olde Wolbers lives and works locally to the South London Gallery. In 2005 Older Wolbers presented a solo exhibition at the SLG, Trailer, a beautiful, cinematic film following a middle aged man, who discovers that his real parents, who he has never known, were c-list actors in the Thirties. While watching a trailer for a film he learns that his parents disappeared in the jungle shooting their last film and subsequently two species of venomous plants were named after them; the Elmore Vella, a species of flytrap, and Ring Kittle, an ancient red back tree. Olde Wolbers' short narrative videos combine carefully crafted fictional scripts with visuals that reveal other-worldly environments. Off-screen narrators address the fluidity of fact through biographies relating to notions of translation, neurosis and verisimilitude with an eye for wit and the absurd. Referencing computer-generated imagery, her liquid visuals are entirely analogue, shot in real-time in model sets.

Pfui - Pish, Pshaw / Prr, 2017, one of Olde Wolbers' most recent works is a two channel video presentation that deals with the urgent business of toxic waste management and gives voice to Mr Theodosis Alifrangis, the longest-serving worker of a Greek oil spill response company. The work was commissioned by Polyeco's Contemporary Art Initiative (PCAI) which raises environmental awareness through an art program curated by Nadia Agyropoulou. It was co-commissioned by Invisible Dust who work with leading artists and scientists, to produce works of contemporary art exploring climate change and the environment.
