Last Place on Earth

“The best grammar for thinking about the world is that of change, not of permanence. Not of being, but of becoming.” – Carlo Rovelli ‘The Order of Time’

Last Place On Earth is created by HOME’s Future 20 Collective in collaboration with Studio Morison.

The Future 20 Collective is a group of artists aged 18-25 who undertook HOME’s 12 month training initiative in 2019-2020. The collective is made up of filmmakers, poets, spoken word artists, photographers, visual artists, musicians, theatre performers & producers and a glass artist.

Working with artist Ivan Morison, Future 20 have created a virtual reality (VR) environment that invites you to imagine the last place on earth. A utopian place, not to feel alone in but where you can consider reconnecting with mother nature and planting seeds for change.

Watch Last Place on Earth

If watching on a desktop computer, we recommend you watch in full screen, and wear headphones to get the best experience, although this is not a prerequisite. You can also use the YouTube app on your phone or a VR headset to get even more of an immersive experience. Last Place On Earth is a 360 degree film which means you can look around using the trackpad or cursors on your computer, by moving your phone, or by looking around through the headset.

Last Place On Earth consists of unworldly environments, imaginary and experimental concepts dreamt up by the artists, where sound, film, music, poetry and sculptural forms align perfectly together in the digital realm. It is a space for people to think carefully about who they are, the impacts of their behaviours and attitudes towards our planet and what actions we must take to create real positive change.
