About this Event
Join us for a special screening of Lucy Meyle and Ziggy Lever’s If cows didn’t like mustard (2026), presented alongside a selection of other moving image works curated by Lever.
If cows didn’t like mustard departs from an 1882 event in which a batch of silver-gelatin coated glass plates—unknowingly incorporated with gelatin from cows fed on a diet rich in mustard plants—nearly destroyed the Eastman Dry Plate Company (later known as Kodak). Experimenting with the materiality of film—and the grains, pixels and particles that comprise its substance—the work considers the competing agency of humans, plants, animals and technology within the production of images and meaning.
The Changing Room 2026 is proudly supported by The Chartwell Trust.
