We interrogate the concept of 'Explosion' by mimicking the gradual suspense involved in an explosive act. We have grasped at the idea of 'infestation' through the notion of a creature that emerges from the ground, harassing the container in an attempt to consume it.
The folly, formed from clusters of transparent piping contorted around the container and bound together with clamps, stretches beyond the container in attempt to engulf the audience. Chaotic at glance it is structured through the use of a simple scaffolding grid.
The event is formed from large lengths of plastic bags, these emerge from the containers opening and spread out into Myers park with the force of a generated wind, fanned from inside the container. This creates a movement that gives life to the colossal tubular forms. Lights and smoke spilling out from the opening enhances the atmosphere of an agitated monster emerging from within the container. The public will engage with the buoyant forms as it detours their direct route for active participation.
