Australia

Full Spectrum

Australia's entry designed by Flynn Talbot will communicate the feeling of love and openness. To celebrate Australia's newly-passed legislation that made same-sex marriage legal, the installation hopes to reinforce that love has the power to transcend all borders, all cultures and all religions. Featuring 150 strands of fibre optic light, each one a different colour, visitors will be able to touch and move through the light strands, to stand within the interior and be surrounded with a rainbow colour wash.
