Meet Sydney’s unofficial open-air art gallery. Every Vivid LIVE, a new artist’s work is commissioned and projected onto our sails.

This year, multimedia artist Yann Nguema’s unique blend of science, music and computer programming turns our silhouette into a kaleidoscope of textures.

This is ‘Opera Mundi’.

Commissioned and presented by Vivid Sydney and Sydney Opera House.
Generously supported by the French Embassy in Australia.

$In The Forest I Found Myself by Travis De Vries | Shortwave | Sydney Opera House Short Films Shortwave is a short film commissioning program from Sydney Opera House, which invites Australian artists to explore their relationship with the screen. Each Shortwave film centres on the interplay between art, performance and screen, showcasing radical, innovative and experimental approaches to filmmaking. ‘In the Forest, I Found Myself’ by Travis De Vries is a multidisciplinary project operating across photography, moving image and soundscape. At its centre is Travis, a photographer whose practice becomes a point of fracture rather than clarity. As he documents landscapes and liminal spaces, his images begin to reveal things he did not intend to see - patterns, absences, and presences that sit just beyond rational explanation. Travis De Vries is a Gamilaroi and Darug multidisciplinary artist working across photography, film, sound, and writing. He is the founder and creative director of Awesome Black, a First Nations–led creative studio and publishing platform, and works under the musical moniker Source Decay for his sound-based projects. Commissioned in partnership with Awesome Black. SUBSCRIBE to Sydney Opera House: https://soh.online/Subscribe Our doors are always open!
