Biography
Nathan Coley's works investigate the social and political impact of architecture
and public space, and their influence
on people's behaviour and ways of thinking. Whether in installations, light sculptures, photography or video, Coley
sees his artistic work as a means of establishing communication between a site and an audience: "My objects are
capable of speaking in my absence," he says. Nathan Coley's work invites the viewer to reflect on, and engage with,
issues of identity, ownership and belief.
