Larger Than Life brings Aardman Animations into an immersive presentation at Lightroom. The experience combines large-scale imagery with documentary material about the studio behind Wallace and Gromit and Shaun the Sheep.
Its story traces Peter Lord and David Sproxton’s early experiments with clay and their later partnership with Nick Park. Behind-the-scenes material sits alongside familiar characters, linking the finished films with the work and decisions that produced them.
The Guardian’s review responds positively to the humour while placing the show within a wider trend for turning cultural subjects into projection-based environments. The format offers a different way to encounter Aardman’s history, expanding small handmade figures into an exhibition space without changing their original animation technique.
