In this Apollo podcast, Thomas Marks meets artists Rob and Nick Carter to discuss their new studio-viewing space in London, RN at 5A, and the launch of their Yoga Photograms series – in which beguiling photographic images of yoga poses have been created without using a camera. The artists reflect on their interest in the Old Masters and in early photographic techniques, and discuss why it is so important for them to make work that has a broad public appeal. Scroll down for images of some of the artworks discussed in this podcast.
