‘Alcoholic Architecture’ was created by Bompas & Parr and was installed through April on Ganton Street in London. Visitors donned protective plastic suits and entered a chamber where Hendrick’s Gin and Fever Tree tonic water were sprayed as a mist into the air, and everybody stood around getting futuristically drunk. Then they stepped out of the chamber and were offered a real drink. They kept an explosives expert on hand to make sure the place didn’t explode, and an ambulance at the ready in case anyone got too fucked up.
One visitor described the experience as feeling like “a cold steam room with a lemony-quinine flavor to it.”
This of course could never be replicated in a gay bar without both a cabaret license and a sex club permit.
Below, a video.
