Manchester Apocalypse Exhibition

Mankind has always found appeal in the end game.



 There's something thereuptic in imagining the whole thing gone, all the vanity and pride of human ambition reduced to a backdrop of terror.

James Chadderton has opened up his invisagement to the public, showing an apocalptic Manchester. He has smashed Manchester up. The Town Hall is a blasted husk, Urbis is a shattered shell, the Palace Theatre is wrecked. There are no people, they are killed or gone, the streets are empty. The artists claims his inspiration came from various films and computer games with a story line of civilization coming to a destructive end - and inspiration is hardly scarce. I Am Legend and 28 Days Later are only two of many films produced involving some kind of apocolyptic plot.

One Manchester based website reviewed the exhibition by saying - "It's as though down there a survivor is attempting to make his lonely existence bearable by painting the empty, dead streets above. A warning to the future spelling out very clearly that Time will tear down whatever we build."
