The next time you’re at Melbourne Central cramming in some last-minute holiday shopping, make sure you don’t forget to look up! The inner city shopping centre is known for being built around a shot tower, so there’s plenty to gaze up at all year round. But from now until January 13 2025, your eyes will also meet a galaxy of inflatable shapes that are as celestial as they are colourful.
The large-scale installation (which spans more than 30 metres through the heart of the shopping centre) has been created by world-renowned artists and designers Craig and Karl in their classic pop art style. The duo, who have been dubbed the ‘kings of colour’, collaborate from separate bases in London and New York to create fun, playful art pieces.
The out of this world installation is a world exclusive and it’s free to enjoy, so grab your friends (or your little ones) and take a squiz.
