Elegant, haunting and arresting, the film and video works of Jane
and Louise Wilson have attracted increasing acclaim and attention,
culminating in a nomination for the 1999 Turner Prize. The twins
specialise in supremely vivid evocations or a particular
spirit-of-place, drawing on cinematic conventions and allusions to
conjure a heightened, often uncanny atmosphere. This monograph,
which features a specially commissioned essay by Jeremy Millar
covers their career to date, encompassing their various short tapes
and films as well as the powerful, hypnotic projection
installations that have made their names.
