See the Northern Lights right here in Adelaide with the return of Borealis for this year’s Fringe Festival.
Heading the Gluttony for 2022, Borealis takes viewers across the globe for a magical visual experience from February 18 to March 20.
The installation is brought to observers by Switzerland-based artivist Dan Acher with multi-coloured lights and a 40-minute looping atmospheric soundtrack that resembles the aurora borealis.Â
The installation which takes over the night sky is a combination of art and technology, with laser beams piercing particle clouds to create the appearance of the ever-changing, vibrant visuals.
The weather, shifting colours, and changing movement patterns make the work of art change, entrancing viewers in the ever-evolving visual experience.
Borealis had its Southern Hemisphere premiere in Adelaide for Fringe Festival in 2018 on North Terrace. It returned in 2021 as an open-air installation in Gluttony where it will be heading to again this year.
The installation projects over Rymill Park Lake where visitors can enter at 15-minute intervals and spend as long as they want in the space.
