Enigma: Immersive Sound and Video Art

Overview

Discover a dazzling rotating showcase of works from Australia's top video and sound artists at this free exhibition by Enigma in its immersive black box space on The Thirsty Mile — Sydney Festival's pop-up precinct. Expect an unforgettable melding of music, noise, colour and creativity via installations conceived by John Gillies, Philip Samartzis, Martin Walch, Sean Williams, and Max Lyandvert. 

In January 2025, Oren Ambarchi's Black will open, followed by Angelica Mesiti's Prepared Piano for Movers (Haussman). Mesiti's installation features two removalists lifting a grand piano up six flights of stairs, drawing inspiration from a 19th-century painting of three young men scraping floors. The exhibition offers a compelling blend of media, including sound, video, and visual art, transformed within an innovative space.
