"Looking into Wonderland” by Jacinta Leitch, explores the relationship that is conjured from the story telling of parents to their children, a walk amongst an imaginary world seeking adventure much like “Alice”. A cluster of 22 giant illuminated mushrooms float up from the ground accompanied by a soundtrack of a magical night forest, awakening the sense of discovery apparent whilst walking within my instillation. (No flashing or flickering lights will be used, making my site a safe zone for those who suffer from epilepsy or seizures).

One group’s trash is another group’s art installation…

After long years of service, these musical instruments were going to the dump…until they were ‘rescued’ and given new purpose in a Year 9 Studio Art classroom. The students have taken them apart and put them back together as a collaborative sculptural installation.

Light Travels is a nomadic suitcase installation in the laneways and doorways of Geelong, an illuminated and audible display of distractions and ephemera by artists from the Retail Cargo Cult.

An alternative ceremony for the age of consumerism, Light Travels conjures the spirit of Adorno and Benjamin’s suitcase.

Our “Live Entertainment” installation TALKING LAMPPOST act is the latest of our homegrown productions. Picture two beautiful European influenced Lamp posts on the side of the road or on a park pathway, as you stroll past you think “Gee that’s a handsome light post” then out of nowhere it speaks to you. “Live Entertainment”! At first you think that you are hearing things, but then you realise that you are wearing a red shirt and it is saying “hey you in the red shirt.” Feeling a tiny bit like you are on candid camera, you turn and sheepishly answer “Yeees.”

In cities, trees are reduced, buildings sprout, and birds nest elsewhere, while high-rise living stretches skywards, attracting empty-nesters. Absence and longing are explored as the viewer encounters nest forms. Some glow with eggs referencing new life, others are blue with emptiness - the viewer hears what is missing.

Follow reflective lights under Moorabool Street to an ‘upcycled’ space where light meets sound and the sound of light is heard flowing deep down underground. Shining treasures to be played at random.

What lurks in the shadows between the historically accurate and the imagined? See and hear the shadows of monstrous Bullockornis - Daemon Duck of Doom and the terrifying and elusive swamp-dwelling Bunyip. These giants of the past come to life in a shadow and sound experience by the renowned Barking Spider Visual Theatre. A night at the museum that ignites imaginations and minds.
