Sally O’Reilly produces publications, videos and performances that find curious links between apparently divergent phenomena. Her illustrated narratives bring historical facts, established knowledges and workable theories into question through esoteric research and absurdist retooling. She contributes regularly to many art and culture publications, has written and edited books, essays and short fiction for international museums and galleries and been writer in residence at the Whitechapel Art Gallery (2010–11), and the Tate Tanks (2012). She also makes video documentaries and has curated and produced numerous performative events and exhibitions.
