Vivid Sydney festival opening night in Sydney, Australia
Vivid Sydney begins and will run from 23rd May until 14th June 2025. At 6pm the Sydney Opera House was lit up with ‘Lighting of the Sails: Kiss of Light by David McDiarmid’
A defining voice of late 20th century radical counterculture, David McDiarmid fused art, fashion, nightlife with bold activism and unapologetic self-expression.
On the 30th anniversary of the artist’s death, Lighting of the Sails: Kiss of Light transforms his life’s work, rooted in activism and provocation, into a new animation projected onto the Sydney Opera Housefor Vivid Sydney.
Organised by mood and feeling, Kiss of Light is a slow dance of texture, colour, feeling and idea, tracing the artist’s punk, queer sensibility. Featuring four key bodies of work —the Bedsheet Paintings, Disco Kwilts, and the Kiss of Light and Rainbow Aphorisms— the animation draws forward McDiarmid’s practice to the present day, broadcasting the experiences of a repressed minority while embodying complex truths, absorbing fear and preserving memory.
Across seven minutes, Kiss of Light reveals how McDiarmid used irony, humour and fierce intimacy to celebrate diverse gender and sexual identities. By honouring the utopian underpinnings of his work, Kiss of Light is a rallying cry for equality, inclusion and freedom, reminding us that joy, curiosity and creative rebellion build a better world.
