Gillian Wearing
As an artist, Gillian Wearing has been exploring our public personas and private lives for the past two decades. She describes her working method as ‘editing life’. Using photography and video to record people’s confessions, her work explores disparities between individual and collective experience, drawing on fly-on- the-wall documentaries, reality TV and techniques of theatre, to explore how we present ourselves to the world. Wearing won the 1997 Turner Prize, is an OBE and Royal Academician, and has exhibited extensively internationally. She is represented by Maureen Paley, London , Tanya Bonakdar, New York and Regen Projects, Los Angeles.
