Exxopolis is in short, a series of adjoining plastic tents. The whole structure is about 55 metres long and 29 metres wide. It took 8 months to sew.
So why is a plastic tent so interesting? Take a look at the pictures from the inside of the structure...
Designed and made in UK in 2012 by Architects of Air, this luminaria has travelled to more countries than I have. As each panel in the tent is made from different coloured plastic flaps, the effect is similar to looking at stained glass windows.
The experience was awesome. One gets a brief history of the structure by a staff at the beginning then is let loose. We took our time through the structure, sometimes sitting down on the ground in one of the cubby holes to enjoy, sometimes standing around taking pictures.
Exxopolis toured Melbourne near the Recital Center on 23 Jan to 1 Feb.
