City of Lights – Darragh Lyons
Darragh’s projection for City of Lights reimagines the City Walls and its windows not as a protective and defensive structure, but as an expression of all the diversity and colour that our modern city represents.
The ‘Window’ motif is a cellular element that represents each individual citizen’s viewpoint and opinion. Colour is used to represent the full spectrum of race, gender, sexuality, culture and religion.
The old City Walls were an expression of the desire to defend and segregate, this new City of Windows seeks to validate and celebrate each citizen. We all come together to form a whole, where we each have a view of clear blue sky of possibility.
