Gillian Wearing’s Self Made showing at the Turner Contemporary
10 Sep
20th October at 6pm
See Turner Prize winning artist Gillian Wearing’s film Self Made.
Who are we – and who do we think we are? How do we make the selves we present to the world – and who are we really, underneath the social masks we wear every day? These are some of the questions posed by Self Made, an extraordinary debut feature by acclaimed British artist Gillian Wearing. Self Made is at once documentary, artwork, social experiment and performance project – bringing together a diverse group from the British public, non-actors, and offering them the chance to discover something about themselves through performance.
Watch the Self Made trailer here.
