Visit Waterworks Food Hall and experience the Electric Theatre – a free, family friendly art installation!
Electric Theatre by Philippe Blanchard is a fabric immersive installation where patterns of coloured light “animate” dyes in knit and tufted yarn. With this project, the artist explores how animation and moving images can be experienced beyond a two-dimensional screen, as something spatial and tactile, where the material itself appears animated. The title of the piece refers to an original name for moving pictures, in the late 19th century, at a time when films would be shown as a novelty in travelling tents at fairgrounds and exhibitions.
