AGB Events, Sydney-based creators and products, have staged a projection mapping show onto the Cairns City Library for the Cairns Festival.
Since 2015, the Cairns City Library has been transformed with projection artworks that speak to the culture, history and tropical lifestyle of North Queensland. This year, AGB Events worked with celebrated local artist, Hayley Gillespie. She has been a professional artist since 1989, in a variety of guises, and has drawn inspiration from Australia`s colours and lifestyle.
AGB Events developed a collaborative projection artwork titled “Migratory Patterns”, transforming Hayley's paintings into an animated story, projected onto the facade of Cairns City Library. The theme covered the cultural gifts brought to the region, as people from all over the world have called Cairns home.
Anthony Bastic, founder and CEO of AGB Events, said: “It was a thrill and an honour to be asked back for the third time to help bring the Cairns Festival to life, and to be able to contribute to it being one of the foremost such events in the country. It’s a joy to work with talented artists like Hayley and help give their work new dimensions and a new dynamism by combining it with cutting edge technology, pushing boundaries to deliver something that is completely compelling.”
