Macula
Macula is a custom-built bamboo sculpture brought to life through projection mapping. It is a first-of-its-kind sculpture made from sustainably harvested bamboo precisely mapped with bespoke video animation.
Shaped like a spiralling tunnel of natural bamboo combs with an aesthetically pleasing appearance during daylight, the installation is a reminder of the natural world and one of its most regenerative resources.
After dusk as the daylight diminishes this unique artwork comes to life in an abstract dance of patterns of light. Each pole of bamboo is precisely mapped with kaleidoscopic, geometric patterns.
Macula is an immersive experience as the audience is invited to walk through this artwork which can function as the entrance into the festival site.
(Macula was first presented by Vivid Sydney 2022 and commissioned by Destination NSW)

Silent Observers
What if trees could talk? Which stories would they tell throughout the centuries?
Silent Observers is an art installation made of tree discs that are brought to life through precise projection mapping.
Large trees have long life spans and silently endure the changing times around them throughout history. By accentuating their innate growth rings with animated projection content, we draw attention to the fact that trees are living beings.
The video projection content of this artwork intends to accentuate the innate features of each tree disc by tracing the individual seasonal growth rings. The animated light is only revealing the features that already exist and breathes life back onto the wooden surface. The result is a hypnotic dance of pulsating lines.
Silent Observers is accompanied by a custom composed audio track that enhances the atmosphere and experience.
