Interview: Gillian Wearing
As part of this year’s Brighton
Festival, Turner Prize-winning artist Gillian Wearing (b1963) will be
premiering her new film, A Room With Your Views, part of her collaborative,
global film project, Your Views, for which she asked people – everyone – from
around the world to film and submit a short clip of their curtains or blinds
opening and the view from their window.
Wearing, whose work explores
our public personas and private lives, describes her working method as “editing
life”. She uses photography and film, alongside theatrical staging techniques,
to record people’s confessions and present herself in various guises and with
various masks.
She spoke to Studio
International about the ideas behind her project.
