Dennis Potter’s TV legacy gets a radical retelling at Studio Voltaire

English artist Hilary Lloyd has opened a new exhibition at Studio Voltaire in London titled 'Very High Frequency,' which reimagines the life and work of playwright and television dramatist Dennis Potter. Through a series of short films featuring Potter's collaborators, including actors Gina Bellman, Alison Steadman, Richard E Grant, and producer Kenith Trodd, Lloyd constructs a theatrical biography that explores Potter's enduring influence. The exhibition eschews traditional formats, scattering monitors and screens in unexpected locations to mirror Potter's own blending of reality and fantasy, and incorporates footage from his iconic works such as 'The Singing Detective' and 'Pennies from Heaven.'
