On Saturday I visited Sassoon Gallery in Peckham to see their current show After London based on Richard Jeffries’ book After London which investigates what happens after an unspecified catastrophe. The core of the project is not the catastrophe itself, but how we, as a collection of individuals, may over come it. It explores both creativity and practicality.
The heart of the exhibition is a survival shelter entitled: Could the last person alive please turn the lights out (2010) designed and built by artist Jaimie Barker and architect James Binning from materials found within a 1 mile radius of the gallery.
