Londoners were able to get into the Halloween spirit a little early thanks to the The Minotaur art installation. Set in the dark depths of London's Old Vic Tunnels, The Minotaur installation took place during London Art Week.
Put together by Steve Lazarides and his fellow street artists in collaboration with KP Kofler’s Pret A Diner, the design they created was a dining experience that will not be forgotten. After being greeted by a slew of disturbing images, from a crucified form of the Minotaur suspended from the ceiling to spooky uses of light and shadow, guests were then treated to an elaborate, indulgent feast that recalls "ancient civilizations and forgotten worlds. How it would be to feast with the gods in exile," according to interior designer Nora Von Nordenskjold.
