Janet Cardiff's large scale work, Forty-Part Motet, is based around the music Spem in alium by Thomas Tallis, and is a sculpturally-conceived sound piece, in which forty separately-recorded voices are played back through forty speakers. The Dutch photographer Koos Breukel is making a large series of black & white portraits of people from his own generation. Anita Christoffersson works with found materials by putting them together as they are or by manipulating them.
