EAT ME: White Night Melbourne

"This artwork could not be done anywhere else. Every little bit of light, every colour and every composition is completely composed by the space...It's only made for this place, and only for one night."

EAT ME

Graphic design duo Antoine + Manuel's Eat Me mapped the architectural space of the State Library of Victoria's historic reading room. They created a present multi-media, 360 degree projection under a 35 m heigh dome.

Taking inspiration from Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, this immersive work takes audiences through a transcendent fantasy land, bringing together a constellation of different crafts and artistic practice, Eat Me creates a mesmerising experience for White Night Melbourne audiences.

Combining architecture, drawing and digital media, Antoine + Manuel collaborated with musician SUI ZHEN to create a multi-sensory experience of live performance, music and visuals for a mesmerising installation.

Antoine Audiau (b. 1964, Paris, France) and Manuel Warosz (b. 1965, Clermont-Ferrand, France) initially met in Paris while studying together at art school and quickly became a collaborative artistic dynamic duo. Their practice combines drawing, computer illustration, photography and typography and have completed numerous prominent commissions such as works for Yale University, Coca Cola, the Museum of Advertising and the Museum of Decorative Arts in Paris.
