Susan Hiller 

The work of Susan Hiller involves some aspect of meaning-making that can only happen through a reciprocal interest in people and their place in the world. From explorations of the subconscious — with automatic writ-ing and investigations of memory — to the self-reflexive homage pieces dedicated to Joseph Beuys, Marcel Duchamp and Yves Klein, Hiller’s work is fundamentally motivated by a deep curiosity about the ways in which her fellow human beings make sense of their environment. This retrospective exhibition at Tate Britain also highlights that the works require an audience to fully come into their own.
