It’s the last weekend of Hobart’s annual winter festival. There are various art installations across the city for “Dark Mofo”.
Here are just a few of them. Free, large scale, installations, open to everyone. Art that engages you, surrounds you, absorbs you, promotes discussion.
“Leviathan” by Matthew Schreiber
A massive geometrical sculpture wrought from lasers and light.
“Winter Fires”
Footpaths amongst the low level flames.
“Spectra” by Ryoji Ikeda
49 searchlights that reach up to 15 kms into the night sky. A beautiful, spiritual experience, especially in the rain.
This is the view from our place, 15 kms from Spectra’s location.

Hi Ruth.
I liked both the Leviathan and Spectra. The Leviathan art work reminds me of when I learnt to hammer nails into a piece of timber, and to cast a fine string around them to make a pattern. I recall my project was on a 12″ square piece of pine. I hammered a diamond pattern into the timber with small nails, and used green, orange and yellow sewing cotton to wend around the nails. I don’t have it now – only a nice memory of my art work.
I saw a sense of Spectra last night driving home on the motorway from the city. It was lightly raining, and when I looked along the motorway ahead of me, the rain drops were lit up in the street lights that line the motorway. It gave off an ethereal sense of being in the mist. A lovely experience. I wished I could have stopped to take a photo. (I did not do that on the motorway). Thanks as always for sharing. Love Den xx

What amazing art work. I had a smile when I spotted the fire extinguisher. Hobart has really excelled in the visual arts, again…
