Bard, the Edinburgh shop and gallery for Scottish craft and design, takes the scenic route with its latest showcase by artist and activist Matthew Hyndman, titled ‘Upended’. Coinciding with the Edinburgh Art Festival 2024, the photographic exhibition explores the scenic Scottish landscape that tourists flock to – however, there is a catch. Amidst the somewhat clichéd context, Hyndman inserts himself as the main subject – naked and standing on his head in each image. This unexpected narrative can't help but intrigue.
