A touring immersive exhibition by Doddz. UK, 2027.
Step inside the world of Doddz.
Board a train out of your city. Ten minutes later you step off somewhere impossible, into the studio of a British artist, and it is bigger inside than it has any right to be.

The Experience
For the first time, Doddz is opening the doors of his studio to the public.
House of Doddz is a walkthrough exhibition built from scratch by one artist. Not a licensed film, not a projected reproduction of paintings you have already seen. A living world, made in Britain, that you can only visit in person.
You arrive at a train station. You board a carriage out of your city and, somewhere between the doors closing and opening again, the world changes. On the other side is a small artist's studio beside a waterfall. Inside it is everything Doddz has ever made, and everything is alive.
Built from
Set design, augmented reality, projection, scent, sound and sculpture.
Leaves you
Lighter. More hopeful. More connected.
Feels like
Meow Wolf meets a classic Disney dark ride.

The Journey
Seventy five minutes, six stops.
Groups leave in timed waves so the house never feels crowded. Every stop is built for you to touch, scan and photograph.
The images on this page are concept artwork. The real build will be its own thing.

The Station
The first thing you see is the shop, built like a railway station. Prints, shirts, totes and a photobooth while staff in world check your tickets. The story starts before the show does.

The Train
You board a carriage leaving your city. The doors close, the windows become screens, and the tunnel gives way to landscapes that could not exist. A conductor tells you about the world you are travelling to and the artist who lives there. Ten minutes later you step off the same way you came in. You are not where you started.

The Arrival
A forest clearing. A waterfall. A small, unassuming studio with the lights on. You walk through the door and discover it is impossibly larger inside.

The Studio
Where Doddz lives and works, and where you will spend most of your visit. Part Willy Wonka wonderland, part secret laboratory, part working studio. Colour of Conversation listening to the room. The Pollution Piano playing the air. IMAGINARIUM bringing your own drawing to life on the walls. Aladdin lamps, Fabergé eggs and dozens of experiments. Everything scannable. Everything interactable.

The Secret Passage
Hidden behind one of the canvases is a door. Find it and the exhibition stops being about what Doddz makes and becomes about who he is.

The Finale
At the back of the house you lie down on grassy knolls and look up at the stars. A musical performance plays out above you. Everything slows, softens and settles.

The Shop
Coming soon
Take a piece of the world home.
The station is also the shop. Prints, tees, totes, artefacts from the world of Doddz and a photobooth to leave with a picture of yourself in the house. The online store opens with the show.
Community
When the show leaves a city, something keeps arriving.
In every city, 150 children aged 9 to 11, chosen quietly by local community partners with no forms and no questions asked, receive a Doddz Art Pack every three months for a year. Pens, pencils, sketchbooks. The basic kit that says someone believes you should be making things.
Alongside the tour there are free tickets for families who would not otherwise come, hands on digital arts workshops, and paid placements for young creatives on the exhibition itself. Doddz is dyslexic and the team is openly neurodivergent, so everything is designed neurodivergent first, with quiet hours for anyone who needs a calmer visit.
