As You Were is an experimental documentary made with midwives and obstetricians from the UK's National Health Service who have themselves given birth to query the boundaries of professional, personal and institutional understanding. Scenes of a coxed women’s rowing team and the artist's domestic realm intersect with historical maternity instruments and intimate documentation of insect life.

As You Were: Second camera: Minttu Mäntynen; Sound design: Tom Drew; Drone: John Duncan; Colour grading: Sebastian Bürkner; Rowing sound recording: Pete Smith.

As You Were was made possible by the generous support of Creative Scotland; Edinburgh College of Art, University of Edinburgh; Surgeons’ Hall Museums; The Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh; and NHS Lothian Midwifery Research Network.
