Looking somewhere between the chaotic remnants of a particularly wild party – you know, the sort the kids on Skins throw weekly – or a deeply unsettling supernatural intervention; LAST NEW YEAR is a bewilderingly brilliant series of installations by artist collective Ink Tank.
Decamping to an abandoned home in Austin, Texas – the collective set about realising their study of ‘The End’. Chris Whiteburch’s The Purge is a breathtaking vision of a house reacting to its impending demise – its entire contents forced, projectile from its innards; whilst inside, objects and artworks depicting doom, plague and discomfort offer a curiously beautiful vision of horror.
Disconcerting it may be, but the collective’s explosion of creativity makes for thrilling viewing – if only all condemned buildings were consigned to this visually-charged a fate.
