Born in Newcastle-upon-Tyne in 1967, Jane and Louise Wilson have been working together ever since they submitted exactly the same material at their final degree shows – photographs where they appeared to be murdering each other – despite the fact Jane studied at Newcastle Polytechnic and Louise at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design in Dundee.
Jane and Louise Wilson cast a forensic eye over the aftermath of the Chernobyl disaster and an assassination in Dubai, writes Sarah Urwin Jones
Their latest exhibition in Scotland, and their first solo show at DCA, marries the chilling emptiness of Atomgrad (their recent photos of a former living complex within the Chernobyl exclusion zone) and Face Scripting: What Did The Building See? (an "investigation" into the assassination of a Hamas operative in Dubai). It is the latest in a long line of politically inclined work that has found inspiration in everything from the former Stasi headquarters in Berlin to the once-graffitied Modernist Apollo Pavilion in Peterlee, a new town in County Durham.
