‘Beautiful Bride in the City’ is an artists film and installation, it follows the titular subject’s slow progress through London’s urban sprawl. The incongruous union of subject and surroundings unfolds like a love letter to the city as much as an expression of displacement within it.

Beautiful Bride in the City follows the titular subject’s slow progress through London’s urban sprawl, hem soaked brown from soggy pavements, veil dragging along a Jubilee Line train. The incongruous union of subject and surroundings unfolds like a love letter to the city as much as an expression of displacement within it. Costelloe’s accompanying text constellates autobiography and pop cultural references to muse on themes of loss and longing, while the archetypal bride figure adds to the visual lexicon of his sculptural practice which frequently employs motifs of nostalgia, femininity and decoration to confound the line between the beautiful, the banal, and the potentially sinister.
