Susan Hiller:

One key point that I picked up on in this article that I find is very important when talking about materiality in works of art allowing the discourse to emerge,  "A fresh, supple, open discourse emerges; something new comes into being; layers of interpretation are born. It is not only the works' visual and textual interaction that redefines context, it is also the perspective of the visitor who brings something of herself or herself tot he experience at that particular moment. Susan Hiller deliberately engages viewers in the process of reinterpretation, through their own insights and associations. For as long as the exhibition stands, her work continues to be in progress."
A flowing and continually developing discourse emerges surrounding the works that Hiller presents in her exhibitions. The meaning develops over time and the viewers can gain a deeper understanding of each work. The work takes on a life of its own emerging as a different each time a new viewer interacts with it an encounters it.
