Swimming without getting wet
Visitors to the Sydney Festival can swim through a sea of 1.1 million air-filled plastic balls or lounge on the deck chairs and synthetic sand used to create the event’s very own signature beach. The festival’s director, Wesley Enoch, said the aim of the exhibit was simple. “To have fun, to spend some time at a different type of beach is really what it’s all about,” he said. The 60m x 23m sea of balls is surrounded by a white synthetic “sand” carpet similar to a synthetic lawn. Umbrellas and “life guards” are also a feature at the event’s beach.
