Elegant, haunting and arresting, the film and video works of Jane and Louise Wilson have attracted increasing acclaim and attention, including a nomination for the 1999 Turner Prize. Specialising in supremely vivid evocations of a particular spirit-of-place, the Wilsons draw on cinematic conventions and allusions to conjure a heightened, often uncanny atmosphere. The first extensive monograph on their practice, this book explores the Wilsons’ single-channel videos and films, as well as the powerful, hypnotic multi-screen installations that have made their names.
