Read More is an ongoing Alchemy Film & Arts project designed to encourage additional engagement with its film exhibitions and other events. Available to read at relevant exhibitions and in the Alchemy Film & Arts office, Read More consists of books and other reading materials recommended by artists to complement their Alchemy-related events. 

Rhona Mühlebach’s contribution to Read More coincides with her project The River, The Horse And The Woman: Rhona Mühlebach, an imaginative multiscreen video installation, inspired by the deep-rooted history and connection between the Scottish Borders and horses.

Artist Rhona Mühlebach was commissioned by Alchemy Film & Arts to create a new film installation set in the Scottish Borders. Inspired by both Western classics and the Borders Reivers, Rhona began filming her fiction-based The River, the Horse and the Woman in January 2019, collaborating with local riders and drawing upon the unique vistas of Hawick’s surrounding landscape.
