Project 05: Excursions - Mike Nelson

Mike Nelson - The Coral Reef


Mike Nelson's 'The Coral Reef' was first shown in Matt's Gallery, East London in 2000. It was recently acquired for Tate's collection. The work's title alludes to a collection of complex fragile belief systems that form a layer - a coral reef - beneath the 'ocean surface' of dominant ideologies.

In Nelson's words, he wants viewers to feel 'lost in a world of lost people'.

These are a few of the photos I took while at the exhibit, held in Tate Britain.
