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.
