Susan Hiller exhibition- Tate Britain

Such a good exhibiton, after Lara's, 'You have to go' to Anne-Sophie's, 'It is awesome', and the two of them talking about it I figured I had to see it for myself. Unsure what sort of work to really expect I found alot of it was 'graphicsi'. I really liked 'Auras: Homage to marcel Duchamp 2008.' This was a large piece of digital stills, lots of colour and a face on each. The way the colour blended seemed to make the piece somewhat dreamy and with blurs of colour this obscured the identity of many of the faces adding a sense of mystery to the piece, it really was rather intriguing. PSI girls was another piece I loved. This showed imagery about girls with kinetic powers synchrinised in 5 large screens. The size of the screens I feel made the piece even more impressive. With different coloured filters in each projection it immerses you in coloured lights and adds a range of physical sensations to your experience (I really did like this piece!!) Another piece I found particularly brilliant was 'Midnight, Baker Street'. Here prints are enlarged from hand worked photobooth images. With black writing on three faces and an orange background my mind suddenly flipped to contextual studies 'think about context, why this colour why this size??'  bla bla bla, and yet it made me see the piece in a totally different light and think about why the artist had done this like this, perhaps she positioned the faces awkwardly to add mystery, I am not sure but the piece made me think which I liked. This was also the case in lots of other of her pieces and I think this is why I enjoyed the exhibition so much from the 'Monument' piece which for me highlighted Hiller's clear interest in Lost and forgotten , to the 'Magic lantern' piece which made me feel rather dizzy. Walking away I thought, her work is intellegent, different, interesting and I loved it- GO!
