'After this revolutionary show we will never have to explain anything about anything again'

- Dr. Wolfgang Zweikugel, Scientific Project Manager

Over 10,000 scientists from more than 600 universities around the world claim that they finally have solved the mysteries surrounding the existence of all life. Based on these findings, the exhibition The Last Show: A No Beginning will help answer the most fundamental questions in the human existence: questions concerning the basic laws governing the interactions and forces among the elementary objects that make up this universe, and the deep structure of space and time. Earlier theories and knowledge about this subject have been either unclear or broken down altogether. The exhibition seeks itself to represent the intersection of quantum mechanics and general relativity.

The experiments undertaken in The Large Hadron Collider in recent years are now here on display in the secure premises of the Hayward Gallery. There are rooms filled with Dark Energy that physically moves, reminding one of shadows, taking on the form of actual objects that have never before existed in our concrete reality. Throughout the entire exhibition space Dark Matter* is placed as an abstract fog of sorts that finally visualizes the before undetectable matter also known as ‘Missing Mass’. The visitors can experience actual travels through Extra Dimensions and Multiple Universes, in controlled designed spaces where the thick concrete walls of the Hayward Gallery present no hinder or limits to the journeys between time and space. The installation of Dark Energy will make clear the expansion of the Universe in such a simple way that even a child will be able to comprehend; the intangible and unexplainable is right there, before our very eyes.

Cold facts are exhibited in forms of photographs and videos that will illustrate how the Superstring Theory can explain all of the existing particles and fundamental forces of nature. Pictures and Videos have been made from within the brains of the most renown scientists of today, using a new technique called ‘Large Imaginary Imagery Ltd.’ that makes it possible to photograph the thoughts, feelings and memories of all living creatures.

Perhaps the most magnificent object in the exhibition is a small controlled Black Hole that demands the viewers’ to take an active role in the show through interaction. This piece has been editioned (edition size of 666) and can be purchased in the museum shop. (Please note that only one per family can be purchased due to the danger of two or more holes merging, which could potentially cause fatal results to your home and surrounding area).

The Black Hole Revolution Inc. has made this edition possible.

The Hayward Gallery, with its bulletproof bunker-like architecture, will act as a stronghold; without it the presentation of this exhibition could have never been possible. Come see a show that will make your head spin and your soul dissolve.

Opens on the 21/12/2012 and runs till the end of time.

*Fritz Zwicky (February 14, 1898 – February 8, 1974) was a Swiss astronomer who discovered neutron stars and the dark matter in the universe. He worked most of his life at the California Institute of Technology in the United States of America, where he made many important contributions in theoretical and observational astronomy.
