Watch TheEYE: Michael Landy Online

Michael Landy acknowledges that he will probably always be known as "that bloke who destroyed all his belongings". In his 2001 artwork Break Down he publicly and systematically shredded, dismantled and demolished everything that he owned. “I’m always trying to get rid of myself," he says, "so that I can move on.

He also discusses his meticulous, delicate drawings as well as the ideas and directly personal concerns that underpin his unconventional art. Read More
