As movies and books featuring apocalyptic themes emerge in greater numbers it is hard not to be caught up in the grim visions and bleak futures today’s artists are painting. The apocalypse is - and has always been - a theme that feeds on the fears of humanity. The end.
It can only be devastating and it can only mean death and destruction. In and of itself it is a brutal and horrifying prospect, the end of everything, the end of art, the end of culture, the end. It is however a fascinating subject and has offered many scenarios that might bring about the end.
the 50's and 60's the threat was nuclear war, in the 70's and 80's it was disease, in the 90's and moving into the 21st century the concerns are varied and more involved. In the Judas Syndrome the end is a throw back to the 50's and 60's mindset with a modern twist.
