Tim Marlow on...Carsten Höller Trailer

Tim Marlow, televisions engaging art expert, takes an exclusive look behind the scenes of Carsten Höller's 'Test Site' installation in Tate Modern's Turbine Hall. The 'Test Site' is a set of five stainless steel slides intended to propel members of the public down from the highest floors of teh Tate Modern to the very bottom. The slides invite visitors to become part of the art, move out of their comfort zone, free their senses and slide...Somewhere between a monumental set of sculptural forms and an oversized, rather menacing, playground, Höller describes his creation as "a unique experience which forces you to let go, to give up control and think, oh my god, I'm going into abyss". Featuring a rare interview with Höller and with unique access from the early stages through to the opening day, this film charts the progress of a fascinating art project.

Directed by Phil Grabsky and Ben Harding
