Notes on Bags (2024/25) is a video collaboration with artist Katrina Cobain (NI) – founder of the Plastic Bag Museum in Glasgow. During lockdown, Cobain’s collection of rare and historical plastic bags went viral and featured in several newspapers prompting dozens of people across the UK and Europe to send her their plastic bags. The film shows Carter and Cobain unpacking her archive in the studio before heading out on the road to Liverpool, London and Oslo. NOB views the bag collection as a form of collective memory, a non-biodegradable history of high streets and precincts, long-forgotten promotions and closed down empires.
