Overview

Anri Sala (b.1974) is a young artist whose haunting videos, photographs and installations have been applauded by critics and curators the world over
Though his work employs straight documentary practices, it also weaves its formal concerns (light and darkness, monochrome and colour, sound and silence) into a poetic investigation of its medium
Among other distinctions, Sala was awarded the Young Artist Prize at the 49th Venice Biennale (2001) and nominated for the Guggenheim's prestigious Hugo Boss Prize (2002)
This is the first monograph of this scale and scope on Anri Sala's work
