Jane and Louise Wilson

Jane and Louise Wilson then studied together on the MA course at Goldsmiths Collage, London (1990-2). When they left art school, they lived in King's Cross and made films of small living spaces, such as bed and breakfast rooms. Another early film showed them taking LSD for the first time.
Jane and Louise Wilson's work together includes multiscreen video installations and photo-pieces; their artworks often feature institutional spaces, for example an oil rig, the archives of the Stasi in East Berlin (the building had previously been used by the Nazis and Stalin's Russia) and  The Houses of Parliament.




They create stories in their films that relate to them. they talk about writing scripts and sounds and I find that i can relate to these elements in the way they describe it. They say they don not have film training, but film is just another visual medium that can tell a narrative or story,
