00:00 Oxford-born artist Jessie Darling has won this year's prestigious Turner Prize worth
00:05 29,000 euros. The installation is made of crowd-controlled barriers bent in several
00:11 directions, twisted railway tracks and barbed wire. The artist says the piece represents
00:16 the messy reality of modern British life. Four nominees had been up for the award spanning
00:21 the mediums of sculpture, portraiture, video work and large-scale installations. And as
00:27 usual the shortlist attracted controversy and ridicule in some quarters.
