- "A different experience of the world." Meet great British artist Rachel Whiteread, who in 1993 was the first woman to win the Turner Prize.
"One of the things that I think really makes people connect with my work is its attachment to reality. It feels like things that we see all the time. But they might be slightly different. It feels like a memory that you have. Or it feels a bit like a dream."
In the video, Whiteread looks back at her upbringing in the postwar period and her interest in highlighting things that are usually hidden. "I always think of my mind as being a filing cabinet that is overfull now. I like to start shredding some of it. But actually, it is quite hard to do that."
"What artists do is reflect upon what is happening."
"I am a great believer in the fact that we make the world a different place, a richer place actually. It's nice to know that there are things that I have made that will always be thought about and are part of our culture."
Rachel Whiteread (b. 1963) is an English artist who primarily produces sculptures, which typically take the form of casts. Whiteread was one of the Young British Artists who exhibited at the Royal Academy's Sensation exhibition in 1997. Among her most renowned works are House, a large concrete cast of the inside of an entire Victorian house; the Judenplatz Holocaust Memorial in Vienna, resembling the shelves of a library with the pages turned outwards; and Untitled Monument, her resin sculpture for the empty fourth plinth in London's Trafalgar Square. She was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 2006 and Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in the 2019 Birthday Honours for services to art.
Rachel Whiteread was interviewed by Marc-Christoph Wagner at her studio in London in June 2022.

Thank you very much!
You had a significant impact on me as an art student and continue to do so. You have a place in history, that's for sure.
Thank you for portraying Rachel Whitebread! I‘d never heard of her. She’s very mindful, what an interesting woman!
Thanks for this amazing content from such a great channel!❤
I grew up in Oklahoma City and I recall my grandmother going to the dump and coming back with treasures. She took me once or twice and there were sorted piles of items thrown away. You could go in and pick out those items that appealed useful to "you"! Perhaps we need to get back to sorting items that still have use. I can hear the groans and moans now!
Lovely short-film and wonderful interview - also the reflection on the experience of lockdown is interesting
Thank you a great artist
Thank you Louisianna She was a ispiration for me.
so peaceful
Thank you for this...really thought provoking....just had a flash of the Eiffel Tower!
Great portait 🎉🎉
As a new generation of artist I escape reflecting what is happening.
What an amazing video! Her art is truly unique i've never seen something like it. Also love your channel it's so underrated. Thank you as well for never having an ad. Art doesn't have a price.
Puppist..... "truly unique"
There is no such thing as truly unique. Something is unique or it is not.
Unique is a stand alone superlative.
Yer welcome.
As to the video .. drivel.
@@jeffhildreth9244 just a compliment bruv
@@jeffhildreth9244 your reply... not unique. Drivel
@@tthomas184 "your reply ....not unique" therefore a universal opinion.
I will not make excuses for being observant and educated.
Literacy leads to credibility.
@@jeffhildreth9244 not unique and universal are worlds apart in meaning. Btw, taking a cheap potshot at a video of an acclaimed artist hardly is an argument for being observant, educated , or literate.
It's hard to focus when someone gets stuck on a certain phrase, "You Know?"
You know.... you know? You know.
Maybe she's just nervous
ATT LOCKA HEM NÅGON
Ich muss nicht ein Cheerleader sein -
mir reicht auch ein Schierlingsbecher
"I've got a place in history...".....uffff, BS artist's talk again
There's lots of bad, self indulgent artists and art and Ms. Whiteread makes her share of it. Many if not most artists should do more thinking and self analysis instead of just turning out endless products of endless self indulgent baloney.
Art IS in the eye of the beholder!!
One person’s bologna is another person’s caviar!
