Sam Taylor-Wood

Sam Taylor-Wood graduated from Goldsmiths College in 1990. Her work in photography and film is distinguished by an ironic and subversive use of these media, which centre on the creation of enigmatic situations replete with a latent but explosive energy. Situations that could go any way, in which any number of things could happen.

In 1995 she began a series of photographs entitled ‘Five Revolutionary Seconds’. These panoramic ‘audio-photographs’ are taken with a camera that rotates 360 degrees taking five seconds to complete. Isolated characters in filmic scenarios populate these frieze-like elongated photographs, whilst a suggested narrative is provided by an accompanying sound track recorded at the time that the photograph was taken.

In films like Noli Me Tangere (1998), and photographs such as Wrecked (1996) and the Soliloquy series (1998-2000), Taylor-Wood explores the boundaries between the sacred and the profane, fusing religious imagery informed by Renaissance and Baroque painting with the secular, urban and contemporary landscape that she inhabits. Her works compulsively examine and dissect the contemporary psyche and the place of the individual within the social group. Many of her works display the vulnerability and resilience of the human body and self when tested to the limit.

Since her first solo exhibition at White Cube in 1995, Taylor-Wood has had numerous solo shows including Fundacio La Caixa, Barcelona, Kunsthalle, Zurich, Louisiana Museum, Humlebæk, Hirshhorn Museum, Washington DC, Fondazione Prada, Milan and Matthew Marks Gallery, New York. In 1997 she received the Illy Café Prize for Most Promising Young Artist at the Venice Biennale and was nominated for the Turner Prize. In 2002 Sam Taylor-Wood had solo exhibition at Shiseido Gallery, Tokyo and Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam and will have a major exhibition at the Hayward Gallery, London in April.
