Cerith Wyn Evans talks to Hans Ulrich Obrist in a very open manner about his career as a video and filmmaker, initially assisting Derek Jarman, and then making experimental films during the 1980s.

Since the 1990s, his work could be characterised by its focus on language and perception, as well as its precise, conceptual clarity that is often developed out of the context of the exhibition site or its history.

For him, he states, installations should work like a catalyst: a reservoir of possible meanings that can unravel many discursive journeys.

Moreover, his work has a highly refined aesthetic that is often informed by this deep interest in film history and literature.
