The world’s largest light installation shines on a small Australian town
- Kari Kola unveils Lighting the Sound, a monumental light installation over King George Sound in Albany, WA.
- The project uses about 750 LED floodlights and 15 red pencil-beam lights on towers up to 20m high.
- The installation is described as the largest light installation ever staged on Earth and may be visible from space.
- Form, the cultural organisation, presents Lighting the Sound.
- The project connects landscapes to local histories and Indigenous stories, with two years of community consultation.
- The spectacle aims to reveal what is already in the landscape, not impose something new, according to Kari Kola.
- Opening night weather added dramatic effects as clouds scattered beams across the harbour.
- Kola envisions the light as a bridge between land and cosmos, linking culture and science.
- The installation may be visible from orbit, prompting discussions with astronauts for space photography.
