And today its sender, Reuben Paterson, will arrive in Christchurch too, to spread it all across a projection screen six metres wide.

That done, he'll add an even more important element: light. Projected light, which will hit the glitter screen in eye-boggling, kaledioscopic, ceaselessly budding patterns. 'Te Pūtahitangi ō Rehua' is the name of the show, and it'll be shining on, from Thursday the 21st, in our space at 212 Madras Street. More here and here and here.
