Apapa Amusement Park
Watch apapa amusement park Soap2Day. Apapa Amusement Park is filmed with a small rotational device which alters perception. Handmade from found materials, the device is inspired by the location’s rotund geometry.. Apapa Amusement Park, once a fully operational playground in Lagos and a familiar childhood stomping ground of the artist, is now abandoned. The film captures youths playing football – momentarily animating the blank space as the eagerness of the game hints at the former fun-filled atmosphere of the park. As the mechanism is turned by hand, it offers a panorama of the playground. Circles of concrete which once acted as foundations for the ground’s features, now redundantly divide absent space.
