Wall Whispers, 2024
Hoarding Artwork
Swanston Street, Melbourne
Artist: Meagan Streader
Curator: Lisa Warrener, Global Art Projects
Commissioner: Metro Tunnel Creative Program
These hoarding artworks Wall Whispers, displayed on the Metro Tunnel Town Hall construction site, Swantson Street, Melbourne, feature a series of B&W photographs of Meagan's original light installation Sky Whispers, first show at the National Gallery of Victoria in 2023. The photographs have been embellished with iridescent reflective vinyl tape.
These abstracted, blurred images reveal fragments of the original immersive light installation which explored the dynamic interplay of light entering and refracting throughout the NGV's architecture. Here, the work transcends its initial presentation illuminated by light tape, now shimmering with iridescence. Reflecting the sunlight and surrounding city lights, Wall Whispers evokes the radiance and movement felt in the original installation.
