Ann Hamilton - Installation Artist



A contemporary American artist (1956) best known for her installations, textile art, and sculptures, but is also known to work with video and video installation.

" In recent work, she has experimented with exchanging one sense organ for another—the mouth and fingers, for example, become like an eye with the addition of miniature pinhole cameras."

Two of her most famous works:


Tropos (1994)



She covered the floor of a 5,000-square-foot factory space entirely with horsehair a desk in the middle with a person performing a ritual task, play with light etc......






Corpus(2004)
"Hamilton has animated the volume of the space with sound, light, and millions of sheets of paper that will fall from the ceiling over the course of the ten-month installation"
