1-6 September
Tue-Sun 7pm-7am

Opening Fri 4 September, 7-9pm


A Blue Crowned Monarch and her Congress of Birds is a meditation on natural history, transformation and wonder. Inspired by the ornithology collection at Museum Victoria, numerous bird headdresses have been crafted and photographed to create a video animation. The light of the
projection hits the acetate discs and flares and dances across the surface of the screened window out onto the street.

Artist Sarah Edwards
