This commission brings together two artworks made almost 100 years apart. Both works were produced for the same room in Tate Britain. One is a mural, painted directly on to the walls of the gallery in the 1920s. The other a film installation, commissioned in response to the mural. Together these artworks invite questions about how we engage with artworks from the past.
