This concrete cast of the inside of an entire Victorian terraced house in London’s East End won Whiteread the Turner Prize for best young British artist in 1993. The sculpture was placed in the exact location where the original house stood (all the houses in the street had been knocked down by the council) Photograph: Artangel
The women in the film are the Bistritsa Babi (the Bistritsa grandmothers), one of Bulgaria’s finest groups of traditional singers. Welsh artist Bethan Huws invited them to sing by the edge of the North Sea on the Northumbrian coastline. The haunting melodies combine with the rumbling of the sea to create a unique polyphony of sound and voice. This work will be included in the Artangel collection Photograph: Artangel
Music always underscored Alfred Hitchcock's vision, not least through his collaboration with Bernard Herrmann, one of the great film composers. Gordon's cinema-scale projection is a close-up portrait of James Conlon's features as he conducts Herrmann’s score for Vertigo.

Susan Hiller collected stories from people around the world who claimed to have seen or felt extraterrestrial presences. Witness was a major work about seeing and believing, located in a disused chapel off Portobello Road. As you entered the chapel you were faced with a multitude of different voices, and as you moved from speaker to speaker, you were party to individual eyewitness accounts of UFO sightings Photograph: Artangel
Oursler’s son-et-lumière projection around Soho Square invoked the spirit of the square itself, from the phantasmagoria of the late eighteenth century to the superstitions that have haunted the local media industries throughout the twentieth. Monologues by various figures projected on to trees were written by Oursler and performed by actors in his hometown of New York.

Michael Landy made an inventory of everything he owned, then set about destroying all 7,227 items with the help of a large machine over a period of 14 days in the former C&A department store on Oxford Street Photograph: Artangel
In 1984, the National Union of Mineworkers went on strike. On 18 June 1984 the Orgreave coking plant was the site of one of the strike’s most violent confrontations. Jeremy Deller’s re-enactment was staged 17 years later and featured former miners and policemen who were involved on the day.

Based on a compelling performance of Beckett’s Krapp’s Last Tape by John Hurt, film director Atom Egoyan's cinematic installation combines personal and cinematic histories in a surprising spatial arrangement. Steenbeckett includes an obsolete editing machine in an apparently forgotten room, 2,000 feet of flickering frames of 35mm celluloid and a video projection of a solitary old man musing on memory and eavesdropping on a younger man. This work will be included in the Artangel collection Photograph: Artangel
Filmed with a hand-held video in the white working-class suburbs of Detroit and the conservative communities of the Austrian Alps, Spook House reveals modern communities revelling in pagan rituals. Front lawns are transformed into cemeteries, kitchens become mausoleums and dismembered ‘bodies’ are prepared for cannibal feasts. Jamie’s camera tracks the celebrants as night becomes more menacing.

Bringing his long-standing obsession with repression, reproduction and repetition to an ordinary street in London’s East End, German artist Gregor Schneider constructed two identical interiors inhabited by identical twins doing the same unseemly things; a woman, perpetually washing the same dishes, a child wrapped in a dustbin bag, and a naked man in a shower. The hand held camera tracks its way through each house, dwelling disturbingly and almost forensically. This work will be included in the Artangel collection Photograph: Artangel
Küba takes its name from a shanty town neighbourhood in Istanbul. Kutlug Ataman's 40-monitor installation in the Royal Mail sorting office presents 40 residents of Küba speaking about their hardships. Ataman spent more than two years immersing himself in the life of locals, mapping the area's physical and psychological impact Photograph: Artangel
Over the course of a few weeks in August 2008, 75,000 litres of copper sulphate solution were pumped into an anonymous council flat near Elephant and Castle, resulting in blue copper sulphate crystals covering every surface of the space. SEIZURE earned Hiorns a nomination for the 2009 Turner Prize Photograph: Marcus Leith/Artangel
Longplayer is a one-thousand year long musical composition. It began playing at midnight on 31 December 1999, and will continue to play without repetition until the last moment of 2999, at which point it will complete its cycle and begin again. Longplayer can be heard in the lighthouse at Trinity Buoy Wharf, London, where it has been playing since it began. It can also be heard at several listening posts around the world, and globally via a live stream on the internet Photograph: Artangel
