Last night I caught up with a good friend for dinner in the city. As we walked towards Flinders St Station at the end of the night, our eyes were caught by the illuminated buildings of Federation Square, which were covered in colourful patterns. I wandered over for a closer look, and learnt that the light installation was part of Fed Square's tenth anniversary The Light in Winter.

The Light in Winter, Federation Square

The light projections on the building facades are called Federation Squared, created by Reko Rennie and The Electric Canvas. It's a repeat of the installation that they created for White Night Melbourne earlier this year. The work relates to Indigenous culture and identity in contemporary urban environments.

The Federation Squared light installation will only run for four nights (2-5 June), so if you want to check it out you'd better be quick!

Another important part of The Light in Winter is the Leempeeyt Weeyn’ Indigenous Campfire, and its associated program of events. It was originally created by Vicki Couzens. The campfire will burn continuously until 17 July.

The Federation Square website also says there is a Giant Theremin set up somewhere in the vicinity until 19 July - this most definitely requires further investigation!
