A new artwork by renowned Australian artist and RMIT Industry Fellow Professor Mikala Dwyer has premiered in Hong Kong as part of the Re: Tai Kok Tsui public art project.
The work is a collaboration between RMIT University School of Art and the Hong Kong Arts Centre, with support from the Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade through the Australian Cultural Diplomacy Grants Program.
Dwyer's artwork, 'Phantasms' is a series of digital projections which consider the impact of urban renewal on ecological changes, through poetic projections of the locally familiar barn swallow.
The projections can be found around public spaces in the neighbourhood of Tai Kok Tsui in Hong Kong.
The artworks are part of a broader urban renewal project led by Hong Kong Arts Centre in Tai Kok Tsui, which considers how public art can connect community, place, heritage and inspire ideas about sustainable living.
