Laure Prouvost as the winner of this years Turner Prize.
Prouvost was nominated for her recent exhibitions Wantee, commissioned as part of Schwitters in Britain, Tate Britain and Farfromwords, Whitechapel Gallery, London. At the Turner Prize 2013 she exhibited an expanded version of the film installation work Wantee (2013) which explores the lasting legacy of artist Kurt Schwitters through her fictional grandfather, and the new companion film Grandma's Dream.
Prouvost creates installations which break out of the frames of her filmic works. Drawings, domestic objects and sounds invoke loose narratives based on a single event. Humorous, complex and whimsical her work plays with issues of language, translation and authority.
