Vivid Sydney 2018 featured “Nacre”, a light installation by Pulpo Collective, Jonathan Irawan, Nikolaos Argyros, Lalin Keyvan and 2 others in Sydney. It was installed at Mrs Macquaries Rd.
Nacre takes inspiration from the many shell middens found during excavations of Sydney’s Barangaroo precinct. The middens revealed that the site was once a rich source of cockles, mussels and rare species of molluscs, which were gathered by skilled fisherwomen from local Aboriginal communities.
