Loch Mess at Lounge Corp. Grand Prix 2023


On a beautiful early autumn day in Reykjavík, twelve moving sculptures came together to compete for the Lounge Corp. Grand Prix ‘23.



Loch Mess (aka Messy) is a beautiful bog body of goo.
Composed of an array of materials natural and toxic, she jiggled her jello and ruffled her feathered straws as she swiflty moved down the race course, captivating the audience’s gaze.
After an unfortunate incident where Messy went topsy-turvy due to her lax (and a little tipsy) operator, she had to settle for the 3rd place.
However, Messy won the best price of all, the audience favourite, through a very fair and just, and also unsupervised, audience vote.
Messy is happy to have invited so many kids as her guests in the audience, because as we now know, kids have no shame :)
