Amanda Parer: Fantastic Planet

Overview

During Brisbane Festival, South Bank will be filled with people — but not just in the way you'd expect. Plenty of Brissie folks will flock to the riverside space for shows, gigs and more, and they'll be joined by five giant humanoids eager to explore our fantastic planet.

Taking inspiration from the 1973 animated flick Fantastic Planet, this larger-than-life light installation takes over the Cultural Forecourt with a 40-foot-tall spectacle of out-of-this-world sights. With the movie set in a world where such gargantuans roam the earth, rendering humanity as we know it savages, consider this bright, bold piece the next best thing to stepping into that realm.
