MOT International is delighted to present the first solo exhibition of Susan Hiller in Belgium. Focusing on key pieces from the 70s and 80s, Susan Hiller: Aspects of the Self 1972-1985 brings to light major themes addressed in the artist’s work, such as modes of self-representation, relations between conscious and unconscious elements in art practice and investigations of cultural materials whose potentials have been hidden, forgotten or repressed.
