Cornelia Parker
Cornelia Parker is an internationally-acclaimed sculptor and installation artist best known for transforming everyday objects into extraordinary works of art. She was born in 1956, in Cheshire, England. In the second episode of Brilliant Ideas, brought to you by Bloomberg and Hyundai Motor, she reveals her inspirations, from gravity and ghosts to memory and the unconscious. She also discusses some of her best-loved works. In "Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View", the assembled fragments of a garden shed blown up by the British Army are dramatically suspended from the ceiling and lit by a single bulb, while "The Distance (A Kiss With String Attached)" is a copy of Rodin's "The Kiss" with a mile of string wound around it.
