Works with Janet Cardiff
Bures Miller and Cardiff represented Canada at the 49th Venice Biennale with their work "Paradise Institute" (2001), which featured a 16-seat movie theatre where viewers watched a film. The audience became entangled as witnesses to a possible crime played out both in the real-world audience and on the screen. For their innovative approach, the artists were awarded the La Biennale di Venezia Special Award, marking the first time it was presented to Canadian artists, as well as the Benesse Prize, recognizing their experimental and pioneering spirit.
