Jane & Louise Wilson

Artist Cv

The work of Jane and Louise Wilson comprises video projections, photographs taken during the filming process, and three-dimensional sculptures. Underlying their work is an interest in issues of power, surveillance and paranoia. Their installations explore the psychology and architectural language surrounding certain buildings, as well as investigate sites of political power. Through their documentation of these often bureaucratic buildings, a silent narrative is formed, devoid of human content yet alluding to the ghostly presences of the people who once inhabited them.

Jane and Louise Wilson live and work in London.
