2014 Vivid Sydney: When the fairies come out to play #3

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

 

 

From Tinker Bell to Titania, fairies have long inhabited our folklore, our literature and most of all the realms of our childhood imaginations. Perhaps when you were very young, the reflected light of a mirror became a mischievous elf; maybe the sound of a triangle being struck or the breeze in the trees inspired you to hope you might just encounter these delicate, magical beings.

 

Vivid Sydney lures these dwellers of fantastical dimensions to our harbourside, with When the fairies come out to play.

 

The artwork comprises 200 illuminated, kinetic ornaments which flit and flutter playfully, shimmering in the dark and allowing themselves to be seen by the mere mortals who wander through the park. These tiny sprites recreate the sense of awe you once felt when you believed in the possibility of enchanted forests, bewitched flowers and spirits that lived at the bottom of your garden.

 

The fairies are brought to life by energy-efficient, pre-programmed LED chips, which continuously twinkle through the colour spectrum.
