Genius of moving image. Sam Taylor Wood

1 List two specific key relationships between Sam Taylor Wood's photography and film work?
Her work consists of people and emotions, that is the most important in her work.

2 How does the use of multi-screen installation in her work reflect narrative?
It allows the viewer to create story himself rather than a story being told by the artist. Multi screen installation reflects narrative in a way that shows it is constructed rather than one that is being dictated to you.
