Kaleidoscope Skies

Claudio Kirac & Better Days Projects

Presented by HOTA

Kaleidoscope Skies is an immersive installation that transforms HOTA Gallery Level 5 into a contemplative space, inspired by Claudio Kirac’s Dream House. Here, panoramic views shift with light and colour, morphing in symphony with the sky. The work casts the viewer as observer, participant, and subject, exploring the idea that perception is relational - shaped by where we stand.

Claudio Kirac is a cross-disciplinary artist spanning painting, design, photography and installation, known for large-scale works exploring colour, nature and memory. Laura Strange is a creative producer across arts, design and health. Together, they work as Better Days Projects.

Join artist Claudio Kirac for a special early morning viewing of Kaleidoscope Skies on Sat 3 Oct. Experience the installation at its most magical during the gallery’s Quiet Hour, while the sun hangs low in the sky, with a curated listening experience designed to spark reflection, calm and joy.

Time – Daily From 10am

Sat 3 Oct From 9:00am
