Marco Polo
Feb 10th - March 5th. Adelaide Fringe Festival Praxis ARTSPACE
This interactive exhibition examines contemporary space through the juxtaposition of physical and virtual spaces with Virtual Reality, installation and traditional painting. In this exhibition, Breda extends his practice through a bold, bright and fun abstract adaptation of the classic Australian swimming pool game ‘Marco Polo’.
Nostalgically a childhood game, ‘Marco Polo’ is an imaginary game where players are metaphorically blindfolded in a body of water. Traditionally, the blindfolded yells ‘Marco’ in which case the responders yell ‘Polo’ until they reach out and touch a responder. Similarly, this exhibition will see Breda collaborate with award winning leader in VR, Brennan Hatton to showcase an interactive VR experience inspired by these childhood thematics.
