One was shot on an iPhone and named Bridgit after a Neolithic deity.

The 44-year-old artist was short listed for the works which were shown at her solo exhibition at the Bergen Kunsthall in 2017.

This year the prize is dominated by art works which reflect a turbulent and contested political and social climate.

Her inclusion continues the high representation of Glasgow based or trained artist in the annual award.

GLASGOW REPRESENTED IN 2017 TURNER PRIZE

The jury praised Prodger, who studied at Glasgow School of Art, for "the nuanced way in which she deals with identity politics, particularly from a queer perspective."

This year the short list for the £40,000 prize feature artists who use films as a major part of their art, and address social and political issues.

Forensic Architecture are a collective of 15 architects, film makers, software developers, journalists and lawyers who have worked in Germany, Greece, Israel and Guatemala.

Mohaiemen makes films that looks at turbulent periods in world history and Thompson makes silent black and white films inspired by "stop and search policies and killings."

Alex Farquharson, director of Tate Britain, which organised the annual, often controversial, prize, said: "This is an outstanding group of artists, all of whom are tackling the most pressing political and humanitarian issues of today."

Prodger's exhibition also featured Stoneymollan Trail, named after an ancient ‘coffin road’ on the west coast of Scotland.

It is described as a "a non-linear miscellany of visual material" from her personal archive (shot between 1999 and 2015).

Prodger was born in Bournemouth in 1974.

She studied at Goldsmiths, London and the Glasgow School of Art.
