Mat collishaw zoetrope.

Mat collishaw blends 19th century ideas with 21st century methods. His best known work is bullet hole 1988 which is a closeup photo of what appears to be a bullet hole wound in the scalp of a person s head mounted on 15 light boxes. Mat collishaw is a key figure in the important generation of british artists who emerged from goldsmith s college in the late 1980s. He participated in freeze 1988 and since his first solo exhibition in 1990 has exhibited widely internationally.

While mat collishaw may not be completely comfortable with 3d printing it would seem that he is happily dependent on it as seen in one of his latest works featuring an enormous zoetrope. Bullet hole was originally exhibited in freeze the group show. Collishaw s work uses photography and video.
