UPDATE: Friday, August 6, 2021 — In light of Greater Sydney's current COVID-19 situation, Vivid Sydney has been cancelled for 2021 and plans to go ahead next winter instead.

Head to Darling Harbour's Tumbalong Park during Vivid Sydney and you'll come across the multi-sensory spectacle that is Macula. The immersive installation combines sustainable architecture, light projection and video animation, and is set to be a fan favourite.
Named after the part of the eye that enables us to perceive colour in detail — and, boy, does this impressive artwork deliver — is designed by Julian and Rico Reinhold in collaboration with Jaye Irving, Joseph Goddard and Dylan Clay. Macula features bamboo combs, forming a spiralling tunnel, and will be positioned in stark contrast to the steel and glass of Darling Harbour. Architecturally impressive by day and a party of patterns by night, it will make for perfect Insta-worthy shots, so have your camera ready.
