Ephemeral Collection
Experience Ephemeral Collection by day or night, as it transforms Prahran Square into an immersive public art environment.
Ephemeral is an adjective, meaning the quality of being fleeting or vanishing quickly, impermanence.
An immersive, light and sound temporary environment, Ephemeral Collection aims to capture the concept of ephemerality and transience as a visual form: the bubble.
By day, dichroic film reacts to the changing light of the sun as it moves across the sky, causing a rainbow of reflection across the ground.
This art-chitecture connects audiences with their environment and is designed to be truly inclusive. By emulating the ethereal quality and magic of bubbles, Atelier Sisu’s Ephemeral Collection appeals to our universal playfulness and childlike wonder. The work encourages the audience to consider the world around them as a space of transience and fragility, like that of a bubble.
