About the Video
Hyundai Commission: El Anatsui: Behind the Red Moon at Tate Modern tells a tale of mass-movement, transformative change, and the inexhaustible potential of human collaboration. Anatsui’s insights offer a path through his work. First taking in their immense size before examining the precise details of each and every bottle cap, visitors experience Anatsui’s hangings as a journey across contrasting scales: the monumental and the minute, the individual and the collective, the intimate and the sublime.

About the Program
The annual Hyundai Commission is a series of new, site-specific installations by international artists in Tate Modern’s iconic Turbine Hall. It is made possible by the long-term partnership between Tate and Hyundai Motor, now confirmed until 2036. The partnership, recently extended for another decade, was founded in 2014 with the longest initial commitment from a corporate partner in Tate’s history and encompasses support of both the Hyundai Commission and the Hyundai Tate Research Centre: Transnational. Attracting over 19 million visitors since it began, the Hyundai Commission gives artists the chance to interpret the vast industrial space of Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall, producing some of the most bold and memorable artworks of the past decade.
