London, Jan 27 (EFE).- Balloons flood the London banks of the Thames in the interactive exhibition ‘Emotionaire’, where more than twenty artists reflect on human emotions using inflatables.
Three million people around the world have already enjoyed the Balloon Museum, a place “where adults can be children again” and the little ones can have “a totally unique experience” thanks to art and their imagination, he says. EFE a spokesperson, Giulia Francescangeli.
The unique museum, open until February 18 in the Victorian Old Billingsgate building, allows attendees to interact with a large part of his works, some of which are exclusive to the London location, compared to those previously exhibited in other cities, such as Madrid, Paris or New York.
The passivity of other art exhibitions is not shared by this museum, which highlights the possibility of interacting with most of its works. “Interaction is the basis of our project,” emphasizes Francescangeli.
Getting lost in a balloon maze with ‘Cubic Abyss’, exploding soap bubbles in ‘Black Hole Horizons’ or playing with a multicolored canvas with a gelatinous feel in ‘Kaleidoscope’ are some of the experiences.
Its flagship, shared in all the destinations that the Balloon Museum has visited, is the gigantic ball pool, which on this occasion is called ‘Hyperfeeling’.
The color yellow fills the room and refers to ’emojis’ – small figures used on social networks to show feelings – while offering a multi-sensory experience where everyone can literally immerse themselves.
The balloons are the common denominator of the almost twenty rooms into which the museum is divided, but the emotions that can be seen in them vary as you walk through the Victorian building.
An example of this diversity is the work ‘Somehow, I don’t feel comfortable’, in which, with some pink balloons in the shape of a rabbit, the Japanese Momoyo Torimitsu conveys the frustration faced by the demand to fit into the stereotypical femininity of a world patriarchal.
The museum has space for Miranda Makaroff’s Spanish creation, ‘Synchronized Chaos’, where an infinite hallway of inflatable characters that change color reflects on the intrinsic complexity of the human mind.
“Each artist represents a different culture and wants to stimulate a different emotion,” says Francescangeli.
As an example, anger. Designer Motomichi Nakamura confronts attendees with cannon balls that challenge them with his angry face.
In the face of the protest of Torimitsu’s inflatable stuffed animals and the anger of Nakamura, one can experience the “carefree joy” of Christopher Bauder’s electric moons, which dance to the rhythm of the music.
