'Bubbletecture' art experience is coming to St Helier

Tuesday, 22 July 2025 15:03

Immersive artwork will transform the second International Finance Centre on the Esplanade into a glowing, playful wonderland.

An exhibition by ArtHouse Jersey is bringing a dazzling arrangement of 8-metre-high iridescent spheres, or ‘bubbles’ - designed by award-winning Sydney-based artists Atelier Sisu, to the International Finance Centre from the end of August.

Titled Evanescent, the artwork responds to sunlight throughout the day, scattering rainbow reflections across the ground.

A bespoke soundtrack and magical lighting effects will run from 9.30 am to 9.30 pm.

The installation will be open around the clock, free to the public and entirely unticketed.

There are free cultural and wellbeing events for the weekends that the installation is up, including performances from Jersey’s national ballet company, Ballet d’Jerri, yoga sessions DJ sets and music performances.
