The contemporary city is a space of sensory overload. On this night in particular, crowds will be exposed to a cacophony of stimulation: from imagery and noise, to movement and smell. Cushion will provide a cushioned ‘media-womb’ where visitors can reflect in isolation and comfort.
Enter a refuge from the chaos - alleyway turned into a place of contemplation by otherworldly sculptures of plastic and air. These huddled scultpures react to your presence in a dialogue of the senses. They will respond to changes in light from your shadow, pressure from your touch, or the sound of your voice as you move between them.
Find a moment of pause from the overwhelming speed of information outside. Allow your thoughts to wander amidst these contemporary forms with shifting expressions.
