Summary
"British artist Gillian Wearing explores the lives of ordinary people through her photographs and films, often masking her subjects and using staging techniques to challenge the public and private identities of her individuals. This monograph provides an overview of the artist's work from the early, iconic photographs of people holding up signs with written personal confessions or thoughts, titled 'Signs that Say What You Want Them to Say and Not Signs that Say What Someone Else Wants You to Say' (1992 - 93), to her latest video 'Bully' (2010) in which the roles of victims and perpetrators, actors and directors are blurred"--publisher
