The Embassy Of The Commonwealth Of New Bayswater

The Embassy Of The Commonwealth Of New Bayswater was part of the inaugural Fremantle Biennale.

In a flooded basement under Fremantle, the embassy was open to the public, and for those interested, it was possible to apply for a visa, or even citizenship, to visit the mysterious nation of New Bayswater.

After receiving a number of applications the populace became enraged, and under a wave of isolationist sentiment, the visa and citizenship programs were abruptly terminated.
