Sophie Calle
Sophie Calle's work takes the form of a curation of evidence using photographs and texts that document her practice. With each project Calle engages in methodical exercises of behaviour that can be in response to personal trauma or observations, invitations or theoretical interests. The projects are documented and this forms the presentation of the work. Projects include behaviour such as stalking people, taking a job as a hotel maid or beautifying a phone box, or forming a dialogue with a character in a novel.

Sarah Van Der Beek
Sarah VanderBeek produces work exploring the form of photography. Engaged with the photograph as an archive and as an object, her work often takes the form of sculptural installations that connect both found and constructed images to produce photography within the expanded field and pay homage to her father Stan the experimental film maker.

Wolfgang Tillmans
Wolfgang Tillmans' work is centred around photographic image making, taking a range of observational images to form his approach to relational art that has a political and social awareness. Creating beauty from the mundane and reframing subjects to create an intimacy is also mirrored by the installation of his work. The presentation of his work is very much part of the process of production, with connections made through a fragmented collage that has connections of ideas, themes and aesthetics weaving a narrative. Each installation of work combines both old and new work and is continuously reconfigured for each exhibition.
In recent years Tillmans has explored more abstract approaches to image making working with none camera and in camera as well as chemical processes to produce images. A consideration of the photograph as surface and as object is also a new vein of exploration for Tillmans.
As part of the British Art Show, Tillmans also presented images and text from various printed media sources and displayed them with his work. This process fits neatly with the anthropological role associated with the photographer, how how Tillmans has been interested in how images relate to each other to create a Truth.
