You simply must make time to book and see MdZ Estate by KLF's Jimmy Cauty
You step into an industrial container and walk around a post apocalyptic tower block estate, the sounds, sights and debris from a disaster all around you. Peer into the devastated flats and see tv's flickering with newscasts or view the artefacts of a new pagan lifestyle for the survivors - reminds me a bit of JG Ballard's dystopian horror High Rise brought to 3D form.
Part of Discover Middlesbrough - showing in an industrial container at The Auxiliary, situated in Station Street, opposite Zetland multi storey car park - you must book to visit as numbers in the container are strictly managed.

I was quite staggered by this when I saw it outside the library. The detail is extraordinary and it contains both heartbreak and humour. Be aware time slows down as you walk through it and peer into the tower blocks at different heights. I thought I'd been exploring for a good half hour taking everything in and inventing my own narratives. It had been 10 minutes.
