What's It All About?
THIS EVENT TAKES PLACE ON MAIN BEACH, LAGUNA BEACH

Join us on Main Beach for a live audiovisual performance by multidisciplinary artist Cristopher Cichocki. Cichocki encapsulates the cycle of decay and renewal through examining relationships between humankind and the natural world. Situated on the fringe of painting, land art, sounds art, and natural science, the artist’s practice reflects upon timelines spanning from prehistoric oceans to present-day deserts.

Rising Inversion combines oceanic and planetary elements positioned in direct dialogue with the surrounding natural environment. Emerging from Laguna Beach the daytime appearance of this sculptural installation presents a surreal illusion of underlying sands morphed into a large-scale spherical arc. As the sun sets into the night, this transformative artwork begins to invert with perception, illuminated from the residual energy charged from daylight. This phosphorescent spectacle will emit a glowing effect lasting throughout the entire night, offering the poetic presence of a luminescent moon rising over the Pacific shoreline – a true synergy encircled within the elements of water and light.

Advance tickets recommended.
