CHRYSALIS animation screening

Next date: Thursday, 09 April 2026 | 06:30 PM to 08:30 PM

Artwork names Chrysalis

At right: Chrysalis (various), by Lachlan Plain

CHRYSALIS is a meditation on metamorphosis – on things becoming other things. The moon waxes and wanes, cells divide, babies grow, and grubs become butterflies. Human life is a series of metamorphoses, as we transition from one phase to the next, one body to the next.

This immersive installation combines Lachlan Plain’s sculpture and painting, with his rudimentary handcrafted animation. It is underscored by Nick Wilson’s mesmerising composition for guitar and prayer bowl.

CHRYSALIS the exhibition is co-presented by Melbourne International Animation Festival (MIAF).
