Abstract

The article profiles English artist Tacita Dean, winner of the 2006 Hugo Boss Prize. Her career focuses on conceptual filmmaking. It is inferred that though her work has resemblance with J. M. W. Turner's and Cy Twombly's, or Robert Bresson's, it does not come out of any other artists or tradition. He is considered as a poet of lost things, because her work depicts things that are becoming obsolete. Her films show old fashioned kind of beauty, a depth and complexity, and a sense of subtle light.
