Tim Noble and Sue Webster are partners as well as collaborators. Their work deals with themes of an all consuming western culture, as well as challenging the idea of the artist as a celebrity. In their work
Kiss of Death they have used self- portraiture to bring to the foreground these issues. The work comprises of taxidermy animals forming the profiles of the artists as a light projector casts the shadows onto the gallery wall. Another work, dealing more with a consumer society is
Sunset Over Manhattan, I think this work speaks for itself.
