Macula (Bamboo Installation & Projection)

Macula is a custom-built bamboo sculpture which will be brought to life through projection mapping. It is a first-of-its-kind sculpture made out of sustainably harvested bamboo precisely mapped with bespoke video animation. 

Shaped like a spiralling tunnel of natural bamboo combs with an aesthetically pleasing appearance during daylight, the installation is a reminder of the natural world and one of its most regenerative resources.

Macula at VIVID 2022

After dusk as the daylight diminishes this unique artwork comes to life in an abstract dance of patterns of light. Each pole of bamboo is precisely mapped with kaleidoscopic, geometric patterns.

Macula is an immersive experience as the audience is invited to walk through this artwork which can function as the entrance into the festival site.
