VIDEO: Mat Collishaw’s Retrospectre at BFI

In February 2010, acclaimed British artist Mat Collishaw opened his solo exhibition at the BFI Southbank gallery. Inspired by the films of Sergei Paradjanov and commissioned as part of the season, Collishaw gives an in-depth introduction to his exhibition, reflecting on the similarities between their artistic visions and explaining how his research culminated in the final pieces he created for the show.
