On Tuesday I went to the Tate Britain to see the Susan Hiller exhibition. It wasn't quite what i pictured but a lot of the pieces were very interesting and i could of spent a long time in there looking around all of the different installations. Hiller juxtaposes knowledge derived from anthropology, psychoanalysis and other scientific disciplines with materials generally considered unimportant. She combines the familiar and the unexplained and encourages the viewer to participate in the creation of meaning. The picture above is of PSI Girls, a film featuring imagery from films of girls with telekinetic powers with a soundtrack that reaches a crescendo at the point of the girls moving objects with their minds. There were five film clips being shown, three i didn't know the name of but the other two where Matilda and The Craft. Visually it was very appealing but it did hurt the visual and audio senses after a while!
