Helen Marten takes a humorous approach to changing our perceptions of the world. Through her work, she manipulates socially accepted images to change them and question their place, truthfulness, and weight. Her world makes use of the possibilities offered by the advent of digital technology, which allows her to assemble diverse images and profoundly modify their internal characteristics without altering their appearance. Her works are large “collages” where found objects share the space with creations of her own hand.

Born in 1985 in Macclesfield, Helen Marten is a visual artist, filmmaker, and writer. She was awarded the Lafayette Prize in 2011, the LUMA Prize in 2012, as well as the Hepworth Prize and the Turner Prize in 2016. She lives and works in London.
