Iridescent bubble artwork opens in St Helier

The art installation was unveiled on Thursday

Large iridescent bubbles which are part of an art display are on show in Jersey.

ArtHouse Jersey said the art project, in the IFC2 site on St Helier's Esplanade, was a "dazzling arrangement of 8m (26ft) high iridescent spheres" and anyone and everyone was welcome to attend the free event.

Deputy Kirsten Morel said: "It's just the sheer size and the kind of glowing, iridescent nature of them, It really takes your breath away as you see them."

Organisers said the artwork, by Sydney-based artists Atelier Sisu, would be open until 14 September.

ArtHouse Jersey said events at the bubbles included DJ nights and performances by musicians.

It said: "Each activity has been designed to complement the artwork, creating an immersive experience that blends visual art, performance, wellbeing, and community participation."

Morel said: "I personally, and I think many States members and many islanders, believe that art is so important to all of our lives, but art isn't just about pictures hanging on walls, it's also about art that can change the landscape, that can bring people and attract people to it.

"This is something that will bring people to town whether they're tourists or islanders and it will you know that brings more people into town they can then see what St Helier has to offer."
