Luxmuralis The Elements - Leicester Cathedral


Luxmuralis returned to  @LeicesterCathedral  with their show The Elements following the success of SPACE Luxmuralis gave visitors the chance to witness fiery volcanoes, be immersed in the oceans whilst remaining dry !, and take to the skies. Watch as the natural world evolves around you. be enveloped by each element and witness the transformation of Leicester Cathedral as we contemplate our planet and the environment in which we live. Starting outside the cathedral we enter through the new porch into the darkened cathedral where we are greeted and told about the instalation by the team. As we approach the first part we see birds flying around and the collums and arches of the cathedral illuminated in blues and reds. moving through the cathedral we reach King Richard III`s tomb which is lit a deep red and the wall in front of his grave features a lava themed projection representing a volcano erupting with related sound effects. In another side chapel we find ourselves boosted into the clouds as we fly like birds though blue skies. Still on a sky theme we see telescopes and other methods of studying the sky projected in a rotating pattern. Next up in the centre of the cathedral we see a fierce storm is brewing with lightning flashing and rain falling. Diving deep into the oceans now we meet a jellyfish hanging in the void of the darkened space like a ghostly apparition. Next surrounded by a fan of shells an image of Jesus Christ appears appropriately considering the setting. We end on a large whale who like his friend the jellyfish hangs ethereally in the space of the cathedral.
