Gillian Wearing - From the series ‘Signs that say what you want them to say and not Signs that say what someone else wants you to say’, 1992-3. Photograph on paper
Gillian Wearing first attracted public acclaim when she exhibited this series of photographs at City Racing, a small artist-run gallery in London in 1993. She had been using video and photography since the early 1990s, but this was her first significant collaboration with members of the public. Standing in a busy area of South London, Wearing stopped passers-by and asked them to write down what was on their mind. With their permission, she then photographed them holding their statement. As indicated by the title of the work, Wearing has written that this collaboration ‘interrupts the logic of photo-documentary and snapshot photography by the subjects’ clear collusion and engineering of their own representation.’

Fine art photographer, Cara Barer discovers beauty within books by searching for new methods to change their appearances. With a drive to understand the idea of having paper at your fingertips through the internet, Cara Barer quotes, “I hope to raise questions about these changes, the ephemeral and fragile nature in which we now obtain knowledge, and the future of books.”
