Night Parrots

Night Parrots is an award winning projection sculpture of a parrot sheltering a fellow parrot with its wing. The proud 2 meter tall, reinforced fiberglass sculpture is brought to life through a vibrant kaleidoscopic animation of seamlessly projection mapped hypnotic colour. Based on a ground dwelling, nocturnal Australian species thought to be extinct until very recently rediscovered in Queensland in 2013, Night Parrots pays homage to this bird and the connections to resilience in human nature, creating a sense of discovery for audiences. The geometric parrots are surrounded by three high definition projectors illuminating the sculpture, accompanied by a multi-channel soundtrack.
