Gillian Wearing.


"Signs that say what you want them to say and not signs that say what someone else wants you to say".


"Dancing in Peckham".


Everyone.


"Every one's got a secret" Gillian Wearing.

"Turner Prize-winner Gillian Wearing produces candid videos and photographs revealing the disconnect between our inner lives and public personas, the individual and society, and truth and fiction. Inspired by documentaries, reality television, and the artifice of theater, Wearing describes her approach as “editing life.” She turns her lens on herself and on people she meets, whether on the street or through advertisements she has placed in newspapers."

"For Drunk(1999), a black-and-white, three-channel video lasting twenty-three minutes, she invited a group of alcoholics off the London streets into her studio over a two-year period. As she got to know them, she filmed their antics against a blank wall. In their drunken stupors, her subjects express tenderness and violence, buffoonery, physical and emotional longing, all the while clutching cans and bottles."
