The exhibition used family photos, a red sports car covered with an ornamental doily mat, Irn-Bru and kinetic hand bells.

The 37-year-old has previously showcased her work at the Victoria and Albert Museum by looking at popular Indian cinema through Yoorup.

An exhibition of the shortlisted work will be held at Tate Britain from September 25 to February 16, with the winner announced at the ceremony at London’s Tate Britain on December 3.

The winner will receive £25,000, while those shortlisted will be awarded £10,000.

Alex Farquharson, director of Tate Britain and chairman of the Turner Prize jury, said: “It is an honour to announce such a fantastic shortlist of artists and I cannot wait to see their exhibition at Tate Britain this autumn.

“All four of them make work that is full of life. They show how contemporary art can fascinate, surprise and move us, and how it can speak powerfully of complex identities and memories, often through the subtlest of details.

“In the Turner Prize’s 40th year, this shortlist proves that British artistic talent is as rich and vibrant as ever.”

This will be the award's 40th anniversary and will see the event return to London’s Tate Britain for the first time in six years.
