Hull Minster has been transformed by an immersive light show which has taken visitors on a journey to experience the power of the earth's elements.

The sound and light exhibition, created by artists Luxmuralis, explores the "creation of our world".

It is projected onto the interior features of the building.

The show's artistic director Peter Walker said visitors had been "blown away" by the experience and there had even been tears from some.

It is running at Hull Minster until Saturday

Describing the show, he said: "It's an immersive fine art light and sound show, where we fill in every inch of the building with light and sound, taking people on a journey essentially through the four elements.

"We go through air, we go through fire, we touch on earth, and we finish off by being bathed in water," he said.

"Every inch of the building is filled with light and sound," organisers say

Mr Walker told BBC Look North people had reacted in variety of ways to the exhibition, which runs until Saturday.

"We actually do get quite a lot of tears [and] we get people who just stand there mesmerised," he added.

It is the second time the minster has hosted a show by Luxmuralis.

Last year, visitors were taken on a voyage through space as part of an immersive experience.
