In late 2015 I was commissioned by Sydney Opera House to create 5 video narratives for inclusion in the South Wall Heritage Installation, a permanent feature of the Welcome Centre at Sydney Opera House. Situated at the harbour end of the lower concourse, the installation can be seen anytime day or night and provides a visual history of the architecture and heritage of Sydney Opera House.

The wall in which the films play was created by Freeman Ryan Design as part of the broader build of the Welcome Precinct, and went on to win an Heritage Education award from the National Trust.

For the installation, I created 5 looped montages that interpret the chronological narratives of design, architecture and engineering of the building. The video compositions use a combination of historical curated images and our own animations and graphics interpreting key elements of the design and engineering process.

The total duration of the five screens' content is around 14 minutes, but as they run on loops, the presentation is a synchronous display experience that flows along the full breadth of the wall.
