About Evanescent
Evanescent is a luminous, immersive installation by Atelier Sisu that transforms the city into a glowing playground of light, colour and movement. Designed as a walk-through environment, this larger-than-life artwork invites you to explore at your own pace, encouraging moments of pause, play and quiet reflection within the public realm.
Drawing inspiration from the ethereal beauty of bubbles, Evanescent captures a sense of transience and fragility. Forms shimmer, shift and respond to their surroundings, reminding us that even the most joyful moments are fleeting. As you move through the installation, familiar urban space is reimagined as something softer and more magical, blurring the line between art, architecture and experience.
Atelier Sisu’s practice centres on creating temporary structures that sit outside traditional gallery walls, bringing contemporary art directly into the life of the city. Evanescent is an invitation to reconnect with childlike wonder and shared curiosity, whether you are passing through on your daily commute or making a special visit with friends and whānau.
Proudly supported by the city centre targeted rate.
