Phantasma, Night Visions, adelaide 2025

Amelia was asked by Illuminate Adelaide to reimagine her piece Phantasma for the finale of their Night Visions festival in 2025.

This time Phantasma was reimagined for a 70 metre stretch of the park through the bamboo walkway. Accompanied by a beautiful soundtrack created by Jethro Woodward, the experiential piece literally offers light at the end of the tunnel.

Phantasma is the visual transformation of public space into a super-saturated world. Seen from afar, the piece resembles a mesmerising prism of light. Once inside, everything in the world appears bathed in a single colour.

Using colour psychology and visual perception, it tricks your eye and reshapes sensations and emotions. It explores the connections between vision and the other senses, creating an oasis where we can enjoy a moment of serenity, calm and hope.
