Description
With style and cinematic verve, if there was ever an Aotearoa artist to be dubbed disco queen it would be Lisa Reihana. Disco because her latest commissioned work on the rooftop of the National Gallery of Singapore, Glisten moves with sequins and sound.
114,000 shimmer discs dazzle in the warm breeze, complete with a soundscape. They make up patterns inspired by Southeast Asian Songket and Māori Tāniko weaving.
