Supernova by-passes the bright lights of the city to create a starry night sky. An array of cantilevered umbrellas open and close, their material glowing; when fully open, there’s a flash of bright light – the supernova is revealed!
This miniaturised astronomical event, captured in Bulletin Place, represents the sudden and bright birth of a star, which then fades back into a ‘Milky Way’ of shifting canopies.
