Life – St Martins in the Field, London – 30th January – 3rd February 2024

Following on from the incredible success of ‘Space’, last year, St Martins in the Field invited people to immerse themselves in a unique experience that celebrates the natural world around us. The spectacular sound and light show – ‘Life’ – was projected onto the outside of the buildings, throughout the underground Crypt, and finally culminated in a sensational light show filling the whole of the Church. This colourful and immersive light display took people on a journey through earth, sea and sky in a dazzling show that was suitable for all ages.

The outside of the buildings featured incredible projections which drew viewers to admire the centuries-old architecture of St Martin’s and reflect on spectacular imagery which brought the natural world to life and gave people time to reflect on our responsibility to protect it.

Inside the building the projections continued in the Crypt, allowing visitors to walk through the light-artworks and be immersed in the installations which were all set to bespoke music. Within a gentle and atmospheric soundscape, visitors finally entered the Church and finished with a dazzling journey across night and day exploring different themes and aspects of our beautiful world.
