A 2000 collaboration between visual artist Marc Quinn, director Gerald Fox and the producers of the South Bank Show.
Marc Quinn is a contemporary British artist known as one of the Young British Artists, a group that emerged in London in the late 1980s to become among the most successful artists of their generation.
Quinn is known for his explorations of the human form through surreal imagery and unconventional materials, such as his self-portrait series Self (1991–present), which consists of sculptural busts made from the artist’s own frozen blood.
