Event Details

Reality collapses with Contiuum, a series of 25 monolithic mirrored columns bouncing back-and-forth each other’s reflections, creating a Sydney that shifts as you walk through.

Standing 2.5 metres high, these four-panelled columns are scattered in varying angles across the Chinese Garden Forecourt, creating several layers of reflection.

Inviting play, each mirror emits ripples of light and sonar frequencies as you approach, set off by motion-sensors. Disorientating and dazzling, Continuum creates a whole different world from light’s natural reflection.
