We are delighted to announce our new installation at Rising Melbourne- an incredible festival of art, music, performance and ceremony in the heart of Melbourne, Australia from 26 May – 6 June!
When you look up at night, the stars and sky contain ancient, unifying stories. For Wandering Stars, these stories converge on the Birrarung (Yarra River) as an undulating, 200-metre-long, glowing eel skeleton.
The installation illuminates the eel’s astonishing migratory journey from local inland waterways to the deepest depths of the Coral Sea and features an enigmatic soundscape; a full lunar cycle of 28 incandescent moons rising from the river; tangles of glass eels and hundreds of floating lanterns made by the community.
As you wander along riverbanks with family and friends—feasting on fire-roasted snacks from RISING’s kitchens in Birrarung Marr—you’ll connect with First Peoples knowledge of the land, sea, sky and river on which Melbourneans live.
