Soleil Nuit – Alfred Street – Sydney | 23 May – 14 June, 2025

Location: Alfred Street, Alfred St, Sydney NSW 2000
Dates: 23 May – 14 June, 2025
Cost: Free

Marvel at the brilliance of the sun and the mystery of the night with this impressionist painting-like installation.

Two back-to-back mirror-encrusted discs—one representing the Sun, the other Night—capture the duality of human experience. These mesmerising, reflective surfaces shimmer and shift from day to night in an ever-changing display of light and motion.

Each disc is sequined with over 5,000 coloured mirrors that oscillate with the wind, casting thousands of dynamic reflections. By day, the installation glimmers like sunlight filtering through clouds. By night, it becomes a galaxy of stars, illuminated by bursts of colour and light from LED spotlights.

Soleil Nuit invites us to gaze up and ponder the beauty of the ever-changing sky—a timeless source of fascination.

Country represented by installation: France
