Susan Hiller — Rough Version
Susan Hiller

Rough Version

Susan Hiller's "Rough Version" consists of twenty archival colour dry prints presented in a carefully considered installation format that emphasizes the materiality and presentation of the work itself. The artist's choice to mount each print in black painted metal frames and display them on a wooden cleat shelf transforms what might otherwise be documentary or photographic material into a cohesive sculptural and spatial intervention. This attention to framing and display reflects Hiller's broader practice of interrogating how meaning is constructed through exhibition, presentation, and the relationship between object and viewer.

Medium
20 archival colour dry prints, all contained in the original artist's specified black painted metal frames, with the original wooden cleat shelf.
