Boomtown Fair 2012: photos and features

Arcadia pyrotechnics and neon masks
Matterley Estate, nr. Winchester, Hampshire, UK [map], 9th-12th Aug 2012

This was an incredible part of the festival, with a fire-breathing, Transformer-like industrial robot coming to life at night.

Suspended below the body was a DJ booth, while acrobats hung in mid air as smoke and flames lit the night sky against a soundtrack of thumping dance music.

It was an incredible experience.







Smoke comes out of the trees, the Victorian gas lamp sends flames into the sky, while in the background the mechanical monster fires lasers and pulses in time to the music. I loved it!




My friend Tom made these amazing animal heads.

















Acrobats spinning.















The DJ booth inside the 'spider-robot.'



The metal sculpture still looked amazing in the day light.
