Exeter Cathedral is hosting Time, an immersive sound and light show by artists Luxmuralis, from Tuesday 7 to Saturday 11 January.

The installation includes multiple projections portraying humans in different eras to form a narrative spanning the dawn of time to the present day.

Highlights include the intricate working of clocks and wormholes and text from H.G Wells’ The Time Machine.

Led by sculptor Peter Walker and composer and sound artist David Harper, Luxmuralis specialises in immersive sound and installations projected on the interiors and exteriors of sacred, heritage and public buildings.

It has presented shows at venues including the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, Carlisle Castle and the Bodleian Library in Oxford.

Time made its debut at Salisbury Cathedral in November and will tour several cathedrals early next year, beginning with Exeter Cathedral in January.
