Terrestrial Act III follows on from a series of evolving immersive exhibitions as part of the project Terrestrial Act. Brought to Thames-Side Studios Gallery, Hot Desque creates a future-past landscape through the theatrical presentation of six artists’ sculptures within a set, alongside the film of the same name.
