Created by Australian artists Leila Jeffreys and Melvin J. Montalban, this contemplative artwork celebrates the awe-inspiring beauty of native cockatoos.Temple is an immersive, reflective audiovisual installation that pays homage to the expressive and idiosyncratic native cockatoo. Slow-motion visuals play across a triptych of towering screens, transforming the NFSA’s expansive Gallery into a space of wonder and delight.
A shallow pool of still water extends the dramatic impact of striking, larger-than-life Red-tailed Black Cockatoos, Galahs and Sulphur-crested Cockatoos, evoking the beauty of natural waterways and presenting a space of quiet contemplation.
First commissioned for VIVID Sydney, the installation is a temple to nature with the power to immerse us in the present moment.
Temple invites us to reflect on the wonder of nature and our place within it.
Open 5 April to 30 June in the Gallery at NFSA Acton.
Admission is free.
