Nigerian Artist's Victorian Values

Yinka Shonibare is one of the five artists shortlisted for this year's Turner award. The winner of the coveted £40,000 ($77,000) prize will be announced in London on 6 December. The BBC's Jenny Horrocks profiles the Nigerian artist with a mischievous sense of history.

Although he ended up not winning the Turner award, he's still recognized for being one of the top 5 finalists.
