Cosmic VOID Box box truck
at The Lost Horizon Night Market
The Free Art Society created an alternate reality inside of a seemingly ordinary box truck for The Lost Horizon Night Market. The Night Market is a transient bazaar where one can encounter a variety of mysterious lounges, theaters, galleries, cafes, installations and other activities, all situated within box trucks parked together on the street. In our truck you could paint freely all over the walls and ceilings with glowing paint and experience the VOID box, our triangular walk-in art installation filled with light, sound and mystery.
