Janet Cardiff has built a growing international reputation with her highly distinctive body of site-specific work that comprises walks, sound-pieces and installations. Currently based between Berlin, Germany and Grindrod, British Columbia, Canada, her other audio-walks have taken place in locations such as the Mall in Washington DC (Words Drawn in Water, 2005), the Hebbel Theatre in Berlin (Ghost Machine, 2005) and Musée d’Art Contemporain in Montreal (Conspiracy Theory / Théorie du complot, 2003). Working with her longtime collaborator George Bures Miller - with whom she has forged a critically hailed multimedia practice - Cardiff's installations have included The Murder of Crows (2008) at Berlin's Museum für Gegenwart and Pandemonium ( 2005) at the Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia.
