Collection: Collection M HKA, Antwerp (Inv. no. BK7696_M447).

Imogen Stidworthy originally created the installation I Hate for Documenta 12. The subject of the work is the photographer Edward Woodman, who lost his ability of speech in an accident, and his long struggle to rediscover his fragile voice. Practising words is part and parcel of his photography, which also changed after the accident. As a professional photographer, between 1970 and 2001 he documented installations, exhibitions of contemporary art and architecture models. Since the accident he has used the camera to record social change, and the whole process of change around him. A series of photographs relates to the King's Cross area where the new Eurostar terminus is located.

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA is a museum for contemporary art, film and visual culture in its widest sense. It is an open place of encounter for art, artists and the public. The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
