Gillian Wearing
2 into 1
1997
Home video, Wearing creates a audio / visual swap of a mother talking about her two sons and vice versa, a piece which has been linked to the process of the ethnographer within the artist. The result is something very disturbing, the mixed narratives being presented by mismatched blank faces, violent undertones coming from the words being spoken. The role of the mother within the family alludes to an inferior, almost victimised task, the opinion of which seems inherited from their father. The audio of actual interview over script proves compelling and conclusive.
