AVIA – Best Installation – ‘Discover’

The Australian interpretation of the Expo theme, ‘Better Cities, Better Life’, was presented to visitors to the Australian Pavilion as an experience in 3 Acts – ‘Journey’, ‘Discover’ and ‘Enjoy’.

‘Journey’ – Australia’s multiculturalism, history and contemporary lifestyles were presented in a progression of 5 exhibition spaces, using a variety of media to immerse the visitors on their journey.

‘Discover’ – a spectacular purpose-built theatre-in-the-round for an audience of 1000 per show. Continuously revolving 5m high curved screens, would rise up and down revealing a series of set pieces that, matched to the audio-visual animation, would tell the story of Australia’s dynamic and modern cities.

‘Enjoy’ – Suspended overhead in the atrium, elegant 10m high sculptures represented the native flowers of each of Australia’s States and Territories.
