2014 Vivid Sydney: Cleft #1
June 2014
Vivid Light transforms Sydney into a wonderland of 'light art' sculptures, innovative installations and grand-scale projections for all to enjoy.
May 23 - 9 June 2014
When you look at the horizon, your observations can be distorted by light. Similarly, light can warp our perception of time. Viewed from afar, time appears to be linear; the reality is often something completely different.
Cleft is an optical enigma exploring the timeline of our local history. Distorted by light, a central line slices through a series of angled boxes. It forms a changing and jagged illusion, manipulating the horizontal axis, and revealing a finer grain of detail within each cleft. These details are a palimpsest containing ambiguous, reworked references to the history and architecture of Sydney Cove, interwoven with each other and defying the linear nature of history.
