Bompas & Parr are creating their first sensory installation in Australia, with giant fruit sculptures and flavoured fog on offer at Bunjil Place in Casey from 24 June to 17 July.
Casey Cornucopia, Bompas & Parr’s new immersive experience, is an interactive installation featuring the world’s first edible mist and oversized fruit sculptures that showcase the heritage of Casey’s foodways and the region’s produce.
The edible mist, also referred to as ‘fruit weather’, will be released from the base of the sculptures, with three different flavours available each day.
Part of Casey’s Winter Arts Festival, Casey Cornucopia also includes educational workshops, garden tours, a local food hub and an exclusive dining programme.
“Bompas & Parr are thrilled to present Casey Cornucopia, championing the region’s vibrant indigenous produce through a collision of meteorology and pomology,” said Sam Bompas, director of Bompas & Parr.
Studio’s first sensory installation in Australia
The launch party for Casey Cornucopia takes place on 24 June. There will be local produce, drinks and live performances.
Based in London, Bompas & Parr works with commercial brands, cultural institutions, private clients and governments to offer immersive experiences.
Last year, Bompas & Parr unveiled the world’s first ‘flavour rainbow’ in east London, created using bespoke light refracted through multicoloured moisture.
“Flavour and meteorology have always inspired us; to see them collide so spectacularly is a dream of mystical proportions come to true,” said Harry Parr.
Bompas & Parr also launched a multi-sensory food experience called ‘The Future of Food: Epochal Banquet’ at Expo 2020 Dubai.
