Jananne Al-Ani’s haunting, delicately honed work in video and photography is distinguished by its evocative portraits and its intimate and compelling narratives. The first monographic survey of Al-Ani’s work, this publication highlights video installations from 1996 onwards, while also referencing a selection of earlier photographic pieces. Produced to accompany the exhibition of Al-Ani’s ‘The Visit’ at Tate Britain in 2005, the book features newly commissioned essays by Claire Doherty and Angela Weight, alongside an interview with the artist by Richard Hylton.
