The 30th Turner prize will be contested by four artists who are almost impossible to pigeonhole, using techniques that include film, storytelling, installation and screenprinting.
The shortlist, announced on Tuesday at Tate Britain, is made up of Duncan Campbell, Ciara Phillips, James Richards and Tris Vonna-Michell.
All four are in a sense collagists, often using images and films they have physically discovered or found online. They also explore subjects that are more their parents' history than their own.

Campbell and Richards were nominated for presentations at last year's Venice Biennale while Vonna-Michell was shortlisted for a solo show in Brussels.
Penelope Curtis, Tate Britain's director and chair of the judging panel, said: "This year's nominations illustrate the mobility of the contemporary art world, in which works are seen at global biennales and festivals over the course of the year. The four shortlisted artists share a strong international presence and an ability to adapt, re-stage and re-interpret their own and others' works, very often in collaborative social contexts."

None of the artists is well-known outside the contemporary art world, but Curtis said one of the aims of the prize was to bring lesser-known artists to a wider general public.
Campbell, Dublin-born and Glasgow-based, is best known for his films, which weave fact and fiction to present portraits of provocative subjects, such as the Republican activist Bernadette Devlin and the carmaker John DeLorean.

He is nominated for a show in which he screened Chris Marker and Alain Resnais's 1953 film Statues Also Die alongside his response – a film that featured choreography by Michael Clark and explored the commercialisation of African art.
Vonna-Michell, who grew up in Southend, is known for fast-paced live storytelling which sometimes uses slide projections, photocopies and found images.
Phillips is shortlisted for a show in London in which she was inspired by a pioneering artist called Corita Kent, who died in 1986. She produces screenprints, textiles, photographs and wall paintings to create art as site-specific installations.
Richards is shortlisted for his show in Venice in which he "created poetic meditations on the pleasure, sensuality and the voyeurism that is within the act of looking".
The four artists will now use or create work for a Turner prize exhibition at Tate Britain from 30 September with the £25,000 winner named on 1 December.
