About

‘Space’ will be a spectacular immersive journey for visitors to walk through and explore the space of Wells Cathedral in a new light.  The artwork asks visitors to look out into space and think about what humans have achieved in our place in the world.

The son-et-lumière artwork encourages reflection on humanity’s place in the universe as vibrant light is projected around the Cathedral, transforming its interior and turning the walls and ceilings into a stunning cosmic display.

‘Luxmuralis’ is the name given to the artistic collaboration between Peter Walker Sculptor and David Harper Composer, who specialise in immersive fine art, light and sound installations around the UK and abroad.

“For someone, who has never stepped inside the Cathedral before this was indeed a divine experience. The kaleidoscopic lightworks by the light sculptor and the accompanying music will transport you into another realm.  Whether you are religious or not, this is an experience that can only leave you exalted. The crescendo of the music complements the light projection perfectly and together they create an experience like no other.”

— Asmita Sarkar Birmingham World, 2024

“This incredible, immersive show has toured for a couple years to rave reviews, so we’re thrilled it’s now coming to Wells in its new, updated format.”

— Alexia James, Commercial Operations Director at Wells Cathedral
