The artist, Carsten Holler, describes the piece as a "playground for the body and the brain."

He believes the slides could combat stress reports the BBC.

He added: "Why don't we have them all around? The slide should be a more banal means of transportation, not necessarily linked to children or some kind of emergency. It should be used every day to get from one point to another."

The slides are part of the Test Site exhibit commissioned for the gallery's Turbine Hall.
