Mat Collishaw

Beautiful and fascinating, I had never heard of this technique before...


Collishaw has created a Zeotrope. These were designed in 1834 to create an illusion of action from a rapid succession of images..
He has created the impression of huge fluttering moths that will be visable from dusk in the uppermost dome...
I am very excited to see this and there will be a smaller version to get closer to in the John Madejski Garden. What a good excuse to visit the V&A, or do you need one?
