In 2016, I was invited to Germany by the founders of VIVID Projection Festival following a chance encounter in Canberra. I had transformed a vacant commercial space into VOYAGE Space—a temporary experiential studio used to test public art activations and explore how my luminous work could operate beyond traditional formats. Recognising the potential of this approach at scale, the founders Ingo Bracke and Mary Anne Kyriakou invited my partner and me to undertake a residency at Studio Kybra, a globally recognised centre for large-scale projection and immersive environments.
The residency culminated in Colour the World, a multi-site exhibition spanning Studio Kybra and the Christuskirche. Within the cathedral, my work was projected at unprecedented scale, forming twenty-metre-high compositions that enveloped the architecture through digitally stitched projection systems. This marked my first experience working at true architectural scale and reinforced a defining direction in my practice—using the combination of my light-driven art to activate space, engage history and transform architecture into an immersive event that froze viewers in their tracks, they stopped and just got lost in that sublime moment.
