Elizabeth Quay To Be Transformed With Immersive Art Experience

  • Award-winning studio Atelier Sisu, led by visionary artist duo Renzo B. Larriviere and Zara Pasfield, will transform Elizabeth Quay with large-scale 'bubbles'
  • The captivating and immersive colour, light and sound experience is open to all members of the community, free of charge, ensuring that art remains accessible to everyone
  • The free installation will run from Friday 5 April to Thursday 25 April, 5pm to 11pm

Elizabeth Quay is set to be transformed through an immersive art experience this April with large-scale 'bubbles' in the water, on land and in the air.

This ground-breaking public art event promises to captivate audiences with its stunning display of colour, light, and sound - brought to life by the acclaimed Sydney-based design studio Atelier Sisu and led by the visionary duo Renzo B. Larriviere and Zara Pasfield.

By day, the large-scale bubble installations will reflect the ever-changing hues of the sky, casting a spellbinding rainbow of colours across Elizabeth Quay.

By night, the 150 bubbles transform with lighting, bringing the waters of Elizabeth Quay alive with vibrant and dynamic colour.

Ephemeral celebrates the transient nature of life and the fragility of the world around us through the magic of 'bubbles' - bringing people together in fleeting moments of connection and community through a playful shared experience.

Renowned for their innovative approach to art and architecture, Atelier Sisu specialise in crafting experiential environments and installations that blur the lines between art and architecture, with a strong emphasis on public accessibility and inclusivity.

This international art installation follows its successful showcase at Walsh Bay during Sydney's Vivid Sydney Festival and at the Leadenhall Building in London earlier this year.
