Candice Breitz

Candice Breitz is a South African artist who works primarily in video and photography. She won a 2007 Prince Pierre de Monaco Prize. Her work is often characterised by multi-channel moving image installations, with a focus on the "attention economy" of contemporary media and culture, often represented in the parallelism of the identification with fictional characters and celebrity figures and widespread indifference to global issues. In 2017, she was selected to represent South Africa at the 57th Venice Biennale.
