Neon Playground was a stunning activation conceived and produced by Sydney’s Haymarket Alliance as a major festival designed to inject new life into the city’s Chinatown precinct. Mandylights was engaged to provide creative direction and delivery of a precinct-wide series of light-based activations.
Our team conceived, created and delivered some fourteen “art towers” across Haymarket – all featuring collaborations with local Chinese-Australian artists with artworks depicted in multiple media forms – everything from kilometres of LED neon to steaming baskets, spray-painted lanterns and light boxes. Each artwork was specifically created for Neon Playground and installed to operate in all weather conditions over the month-long event.
