Paris Light Walk 2021
In 2021, The National Museum of Natural History, France hosted L’Évolution en voie d’illumination, a prehistoric themed light walk in Paris' Jardin des Plantes.
Nicolette was commissioned by Lucy Keeler at Public Art Australia to design several of the 400+ large scale light sculptures as part of a wider collection. Each design included a wireframe structure and bespoke textures for printed fabrics.
This video contains footage courtesy of @AllAroundDreams, featuring sculptures designed by Nicolette Axiak & Jelena Sinik in collaboration with the team at PAA headed by Lucy Keeler.
