"Anywhen", on display until April, uses speakers and video
screens to toy with time and space as the fish float into
different formations.
"The sound objects interact with the light changes. The panels
interact to the sound changes, so everything is connected,"
Parreno said. "Although there is something at work, we don't

The gallery's Turbine Hall has previously displayed works such
as Ai Weiwei's "Sunflower Seeds", made up of 100 million
handmade porcelain "seeds" spread on the floor.
Parreno's previous work has explored boundaries between reality
and fiction. He is also known for a film, "Zidane: A 21st
Century Portrait", which followed former French footballer and
current Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane.
"I think Philippe has this very rare capacity of bridging the
history of modern contemporary art and what art might be," said
Andrea Lissoni, Tate Modern's senior curator of international
art.
