Walsh Bay Pier 1 & 2
Do you know how it feels like walking on water? If not, check out Walsh Bay Pier 1 & 2, the space of transience and fragility. Step onto a magical floating boardwalk surrounded by 150 huge illuminated spheres. It’s a great chance to witness how Walsh Bay has been transformed into a giant bubble bath. Each bubble is made of a transparent material. The colour-reflecting dichroic film after reacting according to the light of the sun will generate a unique reflection on the water, constantly changing! These iridescent balls will illuminate Walsh bay and perform the ultimate Vivid light dance. If you are an art enthusiast or a designer, you should definitely check out this Vivid viewpoint and photograph the enormity of the installation.
Darling Quarter
The Temple of Joy, an immersive addition to the Vivid Sydney Light walk is a multisensory extravaganza that aims to revive a new dance and music culture in Sydney. Get-togethers and night parties are not new to Sydneysiders, because Sydney was the epicentre of Australia’s rave party scenes. This immersive artwork is a homage to Sydney’s dance party scene and ultimately revitalises the joy and happiness of the iconic Sydney nightlife. Dance the night away in front of the colour changing walls and post your epic dance moves on social media.
