“Over” by Australian artist Amanda Parer ( @parerstudio ) • MacEwan University 105 Street Building Rooftop (noon-10pm). Part of “Fantastic Planet” • an illuminated large-scale public installation, March 12 – April 10, 2021 Various Locations Around Downtown Edmonton, Alberta. Composed of Six giant inflatable structures, ranging from 12 metres tall when standing to 13 metres long when lying down. This event is part of Downtown Spark! This information is from the @exploreedmonton website: “These enormous illuminated humanoids have been invading the globe recently, having travelled from afar to give audiences the impression that they have just landed and are gently exploring our ‘Fantastic Planet’. Inspiration for this light installation has been taken from the 1973 Czech/French film Fantastic Planet (La Planète Sauvage). This stop-motion science fiction film, directed by René Laloux,, depicts a story set in an unimaginably distant future, in a world of gargantuan humanoids and where human beings are a feral race.” The following is a quote from the artist: “Scale is a very important factor in this work in that the artist is allowing the audience to hopefully experience a moment of humility and reflection amongst these large but peaceful giants, a sense that we as a species rarely get to feel.” – Amanda Parer MacEwan University 105 Street Building Rooftop, 10700 104 Avenue NW, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
