Transformation

Synopsis: Costumes and masks, makeup and style, dolls and mannequins, stage and cinema: what strategies do we use to refashion identity? Do we seek out excess and extremes in order to see ourselves more clearly? The documentary TRANSFORMATION explores these questions in the work of the artists Yinka Shonibare, Cindy Sherman and Paul McCarthy.

Art: Art in the 21st Century is a series of 24 programmes in which 100 contemporary artists explain their creations, their creative processes, and their perceptions of art.
