Paperback, 88 pages, black and white illustrations, W180mm x H210mm
Elegant, haunting and arresting, the film and video works of Jane and
Louise Wilson have attracted increasing acclaim and attention,
including a nomination for the 1999 Turner Prize. Specialising in
supremely vivid evocations of a particular spirit-of-place, the Wilsons
draw on cinematic conventions and allusions to conjure a heightened,
often uncanny atmosphere.
The first extensive monograph on their
practice, this book explores the Wilsons single-channel videos and
films, as well as the powerful, hypnotic multi-screen installations
that have made their names.
