Turner Prize-winner Mark Leckey has transformed Tate Britain with a replica of the motorway bridge that has previously inspired his work.
Staff worked for months to create the 38.5-metre-long copy, made of metal and covered with plasterboard, of the original which sits on the M53 near Ellesmere Port where the artist grew up.
Tate Britain’s director Alex Farquharson said it was less an exhibition and more “an audio-visual play” in which Leckey mixes up “all manner of ways of seeing the world – biography, social history, pop culture, anthropology, magic, the unexplained”. The experience for visitors is not like a documentary, “but more like a dream”.
