Event Details

Embrace is a verb. To hold. To accept. To include or contain. Enter the circle of this interactive installation and actively embrace the thrill of human interaction.

Inspired by children’s paper chains, a circle of life-sized silhouettes reacts to human touch. Stand between the figures, reach out and touch the silhouettes on either side, and watch a wave of light spread around the circle.

When the circle is completed, with each figure connected by human touch, a spectacular light pattern appears, serving as a luminous reminder of the beauty of transitory connections and the power of community.

Installation represents the country of Australia.

Events In Sydney acknowledges and respects Aboriginal people as the state’s first people and nations and recognises Aboriginal people as the Traditional Owners and occupants of New South Wales land and water.
