At an approximate scale of 1:1 million, each centimetre of the internally lit spherical sculpture represents 10 kilometres of the surface of Mars. Measuring seven metres in diameter, the artwork features 120dpi detailed NASA imagery of the Martian surface. This summer will be the first time that Mars: War & Peace has been installed in a Church setting and a new soundscape has been created especially for the festival. Mars: War & Peace follows the hugely successful appearance of Luke Jerram’s previous works at the Kensington and Chelsea Festival, each attracted up to 3,000 visitors per day. One of the most exciting projects to appear at the Kensington & Chelsea Festival in 2023 is inarguably Mars: War & Peace, the touring artwork by UK artist Luke Jerram… catch it whilst you can!
