Elizabeth Price (born 6 November 1966) is a British contemporary artist working primarily in digital moving image who won the Turner Prize in 2012.[1] She is known for short films which explore the social and political histories of artefacts, architectures and documents. Her arresting moving-image works are widely regarded for the interplay of the visual and aural. Finger clicks, claps and samples of vocal harmonies are used to provide rhythms that structure the narration and create urgent, ritualistic undertones. They have been described as ‘rapturous, addictive, virtually artspeak-resistant’,[2] 'mysterious, mesmerising - and utterly original'.[3]
She is a former member of indie pop bands Talulah Gosh and The Carousel.[4][5]
