Art as a Game
Benedetto Budalino transforms an apartment into a tennis court
French Artist Benedetto Bufalino’s recent interactive installation incites participation and play. With Bufalino, one can expect the unexpected. Earlier this year, the artist turned his convertible into a jucuzzi. In the quaint interface gallery in Dijon, the artist has constructed an indoor tennis court. Fitting a faux-grass expanse from floorboard to fireplace, this interactive installation is a real functioning tennis court where visitors are encouraged to pick up a racket and strike a match with an opponent at the other end of the space. The two sides of the court is separated by a net tied from one end of the wall to the other. Structures and rules of the court applies- with fault lines and serving positions incorporated, the participants must find a way to manipulate their way through the limited space and hit the tennis ball while also being mindful of the other furniture in room.
