Helen Cammock works across moving image, photography, writing, poetry, performance, printmaking and installation. She is interested in histories, authorship, storytelling and the excavation of unheard, excluded and buried voices, often mapping her own writing, literature, poetry, philosophical and other found texts onto social and political situations.
She attempts to interrogate the ways stories are told, the hierarchy of histories and who is rendered invisible and therefore unacknowledged. Her work leaps between different places, times, and contexts, forcing viewers to acknowledge complex global relations and the inextricable connection between individuals and society.
Projects always rely heavily on research, and consideration of form is essential in the work – the space between image and text and between ideas, form and medium. Cammock was born in Staffordshire in 1970 and lives and works in Brighton and London. She is represented by Kate MacGarry, London.
