CHRYSALIS is a meditation on metamorphosis – on things becoming other things. The moon waxes and wanes, cells divide, babies grow and grubs become butterflies.

This immersive installation combines Lachlan Plain’s sculpture and painting, with his rudimentary handcrafted animation. It is underscored by Nick Wilson’s mesmerizing

composition for guitar and prayer bowl.

Presented by Banyule City Council and Melbourne International Animation Festival (MIAF).
