Their flashing Toxic Schizophrenia light bulb sculpture of 1997 formed one of the most luridly vulgar attractions of the Royal Academy's Sensation show. Since then, they have gone on to make ever more elaborate and ingenious shadow sculptures using piles of domestic rubbish.

For the Royal Academy's later Apocalypse exhibition they fashioned a rubbish pile that filled a whole gallery. When the light was projected, the resulting shadow revealed two characters looking remarkably like the artists themselves, sitting atop a rubbish mountain.

But now they've reprised the work that made them their name at Sensation. Like its predecessor, Sacrificial Heart (pictured) is a pierced, blood red, heart-shaped sculpture covered in different coloured, flashing light bulbs and dripping three huge droplets of plastic blood.

It slowly rotates on a long pole and seems the perfect Christmassy window display for this vitrine gallery, as the Gagosian calls its Bond Street site.

It's certainly an eye-catching spectacle and brings a little of Blackpool's piers to the centre of London. But despite the long wait, it'll be even better when we get something entirely new from this inventive duo.
