Outside Light

• Installation

Poet and film-maker Mark Niehus takes his writing from the page to the street in 'Outside Light.' This mesmerising street projection showcases a series of projected original short films, transforming a large building facade into a captivating visual canvas that can be viewed nightly, after dark and continuously looped until 1am. The projection includes the film 'Shiver,' which was screened in the 2018 Juteback Poetry Film Festival in Colorado.

This prolific Adelaide based Artist has produced five street projections across Adelaide over the last year, providing a unique street projection experience that fuses his imagery, with an original soundscape and poetry to stimulate the senses and surprise and delight unexpected audiences.
