b. 1963
Imogen Stidworthy’s film and installation works concern aspects of voice and language such as the sound of the voice, losing or gaining language and processes of translation. She works with the voice as a sculptural material to question how social space is constituted and how we are located in it.

In 2010/11 she has made solo exhibitions at Matts Gallery, London; The Work at Kunstpavillon, Innsbruck; Arnolfini, Bristol and Barrabackslarrabang at Galerie Akinci, Amsterdam.
