Jubilee Square, Kensington and Chelsea Town Hall, was the final site to display Luke Jerram’s “Mars: War and Peace” in the 2023 K&C Festival.
Gaia at Southwark Cathedral
Luke Jerram’s Gaia, a huge inflatable Earth measuring seven metres in diameter, was displayed in Southwark Cathedral during October 2022.
Accompanied by a specially commissioned soundtrack, Gaia slowly rotated giving lots of opportunities for photos by day and by night.
The crowds ebbed and flowed throughout the viewing sessions sometimes leaving the cathedral almost empty to contemplate Gaia the, within a few minutes the bustle was back.
Scale
Gaia completely filled the nave of Southwark Cathedral, the size of it can be seen from the person underneath it in the photo.
Gaia by Day
The detail of the cathedral can be clearly seen in these photos of Gaia.
Gaia by Night
By night, the cathedral was lit blue in dramatic contrast to the daytime photos.
Candles for Gaia
There was just enough room to get the camera behind the candles and get Gaia in the photograph.
