Doomshow is an experimental documentary‑style film by Ray Wisniewski that records the “Doom Show” — a provocative early‑1960s New York gallery exhibition addressing the specter of nuclear annihilation. The film presents the dismantling of the exhibition as a kind of happening: works are tossed about, visitors move through grotesque assemblages, and a surreal performance emerges in the gallery’s cellar space. The soundtrack evokes sirens, ambient noise, and dissonant atmospheres, emphasizing the tension between art, destruction, and existential dread.
