Handmade Spanish cedar “game”
Laser and hand carved hardwood, screenprint and relief roll with 12 stainless steel balls under Plexiglas.Embassy Game, an interactive tabletop game something like a mini pinball machine, is constructed of cedar, ink, metal balls and a clear acrylic cover. The player, seeking to obtain a visa at an unnamed embassy, must navigate the ball through a maze presenting a series of obstacles: payment, security, fingerprinting, etc. At the end, depending on the gamer’s skill but also on the chance of the ball falling into a favorable slot, the visa may or may not be “won.” This is Barroso’s second sculptural project with Graphicstudio.
