2014 Vivid Sydney: MirrorBall Heart #8
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
As the much-talked-about centrepiece for the final float of the 2014 Sydney Mardi Gras Parade, MirrorBall Heart is an artwork that’s already won the hearts of tens of thousands of Mardi Gras Parade revellers.
This endearing piece – that comes to life through 12,000 hand-laid mirrors and a detailed LED light system – was inspired both by the stage revival of Strictly Ballroom, Baz Luhrman’s sublimely over-the-top hymn to the camp world of competitive ballroom dancing, and the old Hispanic proverb at the production’s heart: ¡Vivir con miedo es como vivir a medias! (“A life lived in fear is a life half-lived”).
