ABOUT GARY'S WORK
Gary Hill is an artist who has produced a large body of single-channel video works and mixed-media installations.
Originally a sculptor, Hill began working with sound and video in the early 1970s. His use of text, speech, and image explores the physicality of language and issues of perception and viewer interactivity. For example, in his piece, Tall Ships (1992), the viewer enters the space in which the video images are projected. The boundary between viewer and image is blurred as the images of people approach and recede in ghostly cadence. The thresholds between language and image, silence and sound, and light and darkness are of primary concern in much of Hill’s work.
