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.

Put it this way – I didn’t exactly experience any ‘moments of mid-fesitval calm’ as James was off like a rocket and it was a battle to keep up to him – there were so many ‘pods’ for him to discover!  Go and check it out if you are in Hobart this weekend … it’s very cool.  Xx
