Event Details
Exxopolis is a luminarium – a large-scale inflatable sculpture of light and colour, somewhere between a cathedral and a spaceship, or a womb and a mosque. People are invited to wander through its tunnels and caverns, as the colours intensify with the natural light of the sun. Exploration of Exxopolis is up to you – wander beneath its radiant red tree, marvel at the cupola and its ‘windows’, or kick back zen-style in a glowing pod for a moment of mid-festival calm.
Exxopolis also features a special MOFO-commissioned musical composition by Jim Moginie, exploring the connections between music and colour. Jim and his guitar-toting mates (see them perform at PW1) will appear for random live performances within the luminarium as well.
