From fashion runways and Wellington's cable-car tunnels, to massive public spaces around the world, Angus Muir and his team transform public spaces using lights - hundreds and thousands of them.
The Auckland-based lighting designer has two big events coming up in the City of Sails. Angus is illuminating one of the main venues for the upcoming Elemental Nights event, and he's installing a suspended artwork called Ripple in Exchange Lane for Auckland Art Week.
But many of his company's planned projects and festival events around the world have fallen victim to the pandemic.
Angus Muir tells Lynn Freeman he can trace his interest in lighting back to his high school years:
The work he's doing on the Hopetown Alpha venues for Elemental Nights will be revealed on the 17th of October. Before then you'll be able to see Ripple suspended over Exchange Lane as part of Auckland Art Week.
