โEscape the noise of the every dayโ ๐ก
40 years since his first visit, Bruce Munro has created an outback maze of light & sound. Changing colour in response to a soundscape by composer Orlando Gough, Light-Towers is a chance to pause & reflect - by sunrise, sunset, & by night.
โThe intention of Light-Towers is not to be some spectacle of lights that flash in the desert. Rather it is simply about enhancing the feeling of wonder and the sense of place that somewhere like Kings Canyon naturally gives you. I hope Light-Towers will become a place where people can reconnect with nature, reconnect with themselves and escape the noise of the everyday in an incredible location.โ
- Bruce Munro
