About 'Sea Point Pavilion'

Welcome to Cape Town’s famous public swimming pool ‘Sea Point Pavilion’!

 

For this innovative ‘phygital’ (physical & digital) exhibition, The Plot x Daniel Malan present 2 unique bodies of work. Each selection forms a scene that has been digitally translated to form its own unique virtual gallery environment. These immersive art worlds aim to serve as complements to our experience of the real. 

 

1) ‘Sea Point Pavilion’ 

2) ‘50m Freestyle’ 

1) 'Sea Point Pavilion'

In this unique Hexaptych, 6 separate artworks merge together online to make up one 360 degree underwater scene. Explored digitally, the viewer is submerged into the character of Cape Town’s famous public swimming pool ‘Sea Point Pavilion’. From here we are immersed in the atmosphere of Daniel Malan’s unique art practice.

 

Dive right in,

Don’t forget to breathe!

2) '50m Freestyle'

Often using video as source material, movement has become a central aspect of Daniel Malan’s compositions. In this work, 4 unique chalk pastel drawings are viewed sequentially as an animated GIF. The animated sequence is available for purchase as an NFT and each individual ‘frame’ is available for purchase as a physical artwork.
