The Last Judgement: A Descriptive Lecture at Intervals

An installation by Uninvited Guests and Fuel in collaboration with Lewis Gibson
Animation by Stephen Gray

A son et lumiere to accompany John Martin's three great apocalyptic paintings, The Last Judgement, The Great Day of His Wrath and The Plains of Heaven.

A recreation of lectures presented in public halls across the land, when these popular paintings toured in the late 19th Century, and with reference to contemporary apocalyptic blockbusters.
