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.
