A world-first flavoured fog is set to tantalise the tongues of Bunjil Place visitors, when an Australian first multi-sensory installation makes it way to the Casey Winter Arts Festival.
Casey locals can experience a ‘food lover’s paradise’, when world famous sensory design leaders Bompas & Parr present immersive attraction ‘Casey Cornucopia’ this June.
The edible and interactive installation will place visitors amongst a series of large fruit sculptures surrounded by a cloud of Bompas & Parr’s world-first flavoured fog, with three different flavours celebrated each day.
The exhibition also provides an opportunity to showcase Casey’s rich foodways, with educational workshops, garden tours, a local food hub and an exclusive dining program, perfect for the winter school holidays.
“Bompas & Parr are thrilled to present Casey Cornucopia – championing the region’s vibrant indigenous produce through a collision of meteorology & pomology,” said director of Bompas and Parr, Sam Bompas.
Based in London, Bompas & Parr first came to prominence through their jelly-making expertise and have expanded to offer food and drink design, brand consultancy and immersive experiences across a number of industries.
Some of the group’s previous immersive experiences include London’s ‘flavour rainbow’ and ‘vomit vault’ and New York’s ‘AI Banquet’, which combines technological innovation, theatrical techniques and contemporary british design to immerse attendees in a ‘dream dinner party of iconic British figures’.
Casey Cornucopia is being held over 24 days, with visitors invited to the official launch on Friday 24 June where there will be local produce, drink and live performances to enjoy.
