Surreal at Expo 2020: Green Walls and Water Feature 'Surreal' Expo Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Description

Surreal at Expo 2020

Be transformed by Surreal at Expo 2020, which blends mesmerising sights and sounds in a synchronized spectacle of music, water and fire. Larger-than-life immersive walls are swept over by gushing water which then appears to flow upwards in a gravity-defying feat of engineering. Central spirals produce roaring hydrogen flames bright, unexpected colors. Every element, right down to splashes of water at certain moments, is meticulously designed and choreographed in a spectacular collaboration between LA-based WET Design (designers of the Burj Khalifa fountain), and Ramin Djawadi (award-winning composer of the Game of Thrones score).

Samenvatting (Dutch description)

The Expo 2020 Water Feature, also known as Surreal, pushes the boundaries of a typical fountain. Instead of shooting up into the air, the water falls, and instead of just waltzing to music, it invites its age-old nemesis fire for company. Mark Fuller, CEO and founder of California-based Water Entertainment Technologies (WET), tells Gulf News the inspiration comes from the 4,000-year-old gold ring – the very piece of jewellery that helped write the lore of Expo 2020 Dubai.
