Born in the USA, artist Susan Hiller (1940-2019) studied anthropology before moving to London in 1970. There she created a body of work of formal diversity, which she herself described as being at the interface between conceptual art and the paranormal. Over the course of her 50-year career, Hiller explored automatic writing, dreams, postcards, television programmes, magic, extraterrestrial encounters and other folk practices. Her way of working is guided by the search for alternatives to the supposedly objective neutrality demanded by science.
