I had thought that the Opera House would have been the best bit of the Vivid Festival.
But Customs House was too, too incredible. I hadn't heard anything about this before I went. So it was the thrill of the unexpected, and the thrill of discovering something that was just completely astonishing. I don't think I've ever seen a public display of art to match it.
Customs House by day:
 |
| Ho Hum. Sydney Sandstone. Even with the Ice Bear. |
And by Vivid:
They made the building breathe!
And the columns spin!
They filled the building with water
And then drained it all out
We had a fabulous hotel room that night, and I could keep watching from our balcony!
 |
| The amazing folks who did this. |
So Clever. So Astonishing. I wish it was like this every night. Here's a timelapse video (not mine) to give you a bit more of an idea how it was on the night. Customs House features at the end, and not for long enough. I loved it so much. Can you tell?
Saturday Snapshot, is a wonderful weekly meme from at home with books.
