Susan Hiller's work has been recognised in major exhibitions internationally, most notably in a retrospective held at the Tate Gallery, Liverpool last spring (1996). After practising anthropology and archaeology in the United States Hiller began to work as an artist in London where she moved in 1973. Sensitive to both the possibilities and the limitations of all artistic media, Hiller has never confined herself to any one in particular. Involving writing, painting, performance, photography, video, projections and found objects as well as collaboration with others. Hiller's art is well described by herself as a kind of "archaeological investigation, uncovering something to make a different kind of sense of it".
The quote from Lacan on her print runs as follows: -
"There is a lot to say on the psychology of the collection. I myself am a bit of a collector, and if some of you believe that it is in imitation of Freud, you are welcome to do so. I believe that it is for entirely different reasons than his. I have seen the remains of Freud's collection on Anna Freud's shelves..."
