From the Guradian:

"[...] Deller's competition entry, [...] brought together brass bands,
acid house music, a memorial to a north London cyclist killed by a
reckless driver, and George Bush's favourite burger bar waitress. The
only naked creatures were the 3m bats streaming from the mouth of a cave
and spectacularly black ening the sunset sky as the climax of his video
Memory Bucket."

The work in question is called Five Memorials, one of which is to a
London cyclist killed by a drunk driver. On at Tate Britain (aka Tate
London!) until 23rd December this year if anyone fancies a look.
