Gillian McIver: Artsite

Gillian McIver

My work investigates the nuances of moments in the grand narrative.

My work takes the form of "experimental documentary," presented as artist-films and video installations, where images and text intersect with metaphysical and epistemological questions about reality, time and memory. I combine a strongly visual approach with a theoretical underpinning, encouraging viewers to experience the work first emotionally and then intellectually.
