Working with caps from liquor bottles, El Anatsui creates densely patterned sculptures that trace a broader narrative around colonial economic exchange and slave trade in Africa. "When the European traders came to Africa for the first time, drinks were exchanged for slaves, who were brought to America to grow more cotton and sugar cane to make more drink and then ship to Europe," says the artist in our "Change" episode.

Step into the Turbine Hall and let your gaze be lifted upwards - El Anatsui's monumental Behind The Red Moon sculpture invites you to embark on a three-part journey of light, colour and movement. Up close, this large scale installation made of bottle tops tell stories of global connections, the alcohol trade, and African-European histories.

El Anatsui often uses his native language of Ewe when naming his work because the words can have a range of meanings when pronounced differently. "Since I'm working with the idea of non-fixity and something indeterminate, I don't want the language to inform," says the artist. "By giving it a context, you limit its ability to stretch."
