Visual Monkey is thrilled that Badu Gili 2023 has been recognized as a finalist in this year's AEAF Awards! In collaboration with Yarnology, we crafted striking projections for the Sydney Opera House, Biennale, and Cartier Foundation in late 2023. It was both an honor and a privilege to work alongside renowned artists Gail Mabo and Nikau Hindin, transforming their powerful artworks into dynamic, vibrant projections across the iconic sails of the Sydney Opera House.
A soundscape accompanies the animation, with powerful music by Nigel Westlake supporting Mabo's work, and Te Kahureremoa Taumata (Ngāti Kahungunu, Ngāti Tūwharetoa) and Te Kuru o te Marama Dewes (Ngāti Porou, Ngāti Rangitihi) complementing Hindin’s.
