Morella, a living and breathing exhibition (...) an imagined surreal monochrome world full of the weird, the wonderful and the unimaginable.

Challenge: How to connect Pistonhead’s brand values to a collaborative art show.

Epiphany: Take over a hidden chapel in Hackney Road to create a mausoleum of drawings and images. Their world is the interior of a compulsive mind: one that craves lust, nature and the esoteric. Morella is the spawn of a profound, homogenous collaboration that refuses to be confined.

Output: A room full of drawings made by the combined hands of. ELX  transfromed the mausoleam into completely immersive space.

Outcome: A two month show where cool East London kids get to experience art in alliance with Pistonhead. The viewer becomes the participant in the artits’ psychedelic dream. Their world is the interior of a compulsive mind: one that craves lust, nature and the esoteric. Morella is the spawn of a profound, homogenous collaboration that refuses to be confined.
