Michaela Gleave was a fellow Takt resident in Berlin during 2010.
This is her installation at Performance Space in Sydney, Australia. Looks awesome, wish I could have seen/experienced it.

From Press Release:
Our Frozen Moment is an
atmospheric-based installation by Michaela Gleave, a large-scale
experiment in space, light and the possibilities that shape our
perception of the universe. Presented as a stage-like set, the viewer
is invited to step into a ‘field of stars’ as a mass of tiny droplets
spark briefly into existence before disappearing from view.
Our Frozen Moment references optical phenomena such as
‘prisoner’s cinema’, the atmospheric condition ‘diamond dust’, and
‘frozen’ stars thought to be fueled by dark matter. The installation
places the viewer at the centre of a universe, a performer in their own
theatrical set, their own unique presence in the space-time continuum
held up for view.
This project is supported by the Australia Council through the Visual Arts Board.
