Vivid Sydney at the Maritime Museum
- Every day, 6pm to 11pm
- Friday 22 May to Saturday 13 June
Join us for our largest Vivid Sydney program to date, celebrating Indigenous artforms and storytelling.
From 22 May to 13 June, the Museum will be championing the incredible work of renowned Zenadth Kes (Torres Strait Island) artist Brian Robinson, with the precinct illuminated after dark.
Mythical Mashup: The Graphic Worlds of Brian Robinson
A trilogy of light-based installations across rooftop, harbour, and heritage architecture, transforming the precinct into a surreal realm where mythology, marine life, and pop culture collide.
Cosmic Chase – Rooftop Projection
The museum rooftop is transformed into a looping, animated battleground where ancient mythology collides with pop culture and arcade-era fantasy. Drawing on the graphic language of Torres Strait artist Brian Robinson, the projection unfolds as a playful pursuit across a glowing field of geometric flowers, marine motifs, and bold patterning.
Floating Realm – Harbour & Lighthouse Installation
Floating Realm unfolds across the harbour and lighthouse as a sculptural landscape of LED-lit forms, hovering on the water’s surface and suspended in the sky. Monumental tentacles curl and rise from the harbour, joined by drifting fish, a glowing moon, and other forms drawn from Robinson’s visual world where marine life, mythology, and pop culture collide.
