Christine van Assche

Born in Beirut to a Palestinian family, artist Mona Hatoum came to Britain as a student in the mid-1970s, settling in London in 1975. Her art - whether video, performance, sculpture or installation - is concerned with confrontational themes including violence, oppression and voyeurism, often in reference to the human body; and with the juxtaposition of opposites such as beauty and horror, desire and revulsion. With 250 colour images covering the whole of Hatoum's ouevre, this is the essential book on a distinctly powerful voice in contemporary art.

Mona Hatoum

Gary Hill

Las videoinstalaciones presentadas representan, sugieren, desvelan, ironizan sobre la complejidad del relato, sobre la multiplicidad de caminos que enlazan a emisores y receptores en la actualidad, ya que literatura, imagen en movimiento, pintura y escultura están imbricadas. Textos extraídos de obras literarias y filosóficas e imágenes electrónicas se articulan ofreciendo una propuesta compleja que inquieta y seduce, una poética que trasciende la mera demostración del peso de los medios para situarse en el universo del arte.
