Artist and Filmmaker Duncan Campbell often explores forgotten or overlooked public figures in his moving image work. The silent short filmed in Glasgow, Ruby, follows the journey of potato from wholesale to the dinner table. Campbell captures the multiple transactions that take place around the simple vegetable, as well as hinting at historical connections to emigration and the Scottish city.
