Her work is very personal, emotional and quite shocking in the way it is produced in such a raw way.
How does the use of multi-screen installation in her work reflect narrative?
It shows the different layers to the narrative and reflects the feelings (perhaps confusion) of the people in the story. Using the multi-screen may also give the audience a chance to make their own story instead of being fed a story through one screen.
What other photographers use film as an integral part of their work. List two with examples?
Larry Clarke - Kids and music photographer Roger Sarget who recently released a documentary following the band The Libertines.
Research three other Video artists and explain their working philosophy?
Shane Medows- Known for making very gritty and at times slightly uncomfortable to watch films, about British life. He likes to show Britain completely stripped back and focusing on current issues such as racism such as his This is England series which was became into a TV series on Channel 4.
Nick Knight- A very original and cutting edge fashion photographer directed music videos for the music artists Bjork and Lady GaGa, putting his own style in both music videos. His work tends to be quite controversial and is reflected in the two artists he choose to work with, his work is very eye catching and dramatic, the work wants to grab the attention of the audiences.
Tim Burton- An American Film director, writer and producer is known for making very dark, quirky and fantasy like films, he likes to keep his audience guessing and not to expect "the norm", it has been said the Tim Burton also has an "imaginary friend" that helps him out with is bizarre ideas. I feel that he wants his audience to forget about any worries they have in reality and he wants them to be absorbed by his magical and dream like creations.
Show an example of a specific gallery space or a site specific location where a video artist or film maker has created work specifically for that space and been influenced by it.
Baz Lurhmann was so inspired by the history and style of the Moulin Rouge in Paris that he decided to make a film based around the glamorous illusion, mixing sex and glamour to make this film very aesthetically captivating.
