El;eanor Margesson reviews the Unilever Series exhibit 'Raw Materials' by Bruce Nauman, showing in the Turbine Hall of London's Tate Modern until March 28 2005.

Howls of ghoulish screams and echoing growls bounce off the walls of the massive space, while piercing shrieks mix with calmer, more insistent tones. Meanwhile, the hum of the vast generators, which originally powered the building, drone on in the background.
