00:02A rugged landscape transformed by light.
00:05This massive light installation illuminating Albany's King George sound.
00:13Kari Kohler used over 750 LED lights and 15 red spotlights across 12 kilometers
00:19to illuminate the skies over Albany.
00:21The Finnish artist promising something unique.
00:24We are creating the largest light installation on the planet here in Albany.
00:28The light show was commissioned to celebrate Albany's bicentenary,
00:31its theme inspired by the region's traditional owners.
00:35I founded then the Menang plant, the blood root, and we founded it.
00:40I ate it, and then I was thinking that this is the concept for the light project.
00:45Lights on the ground projecting the red roots of the native plant into the sky against a green panorama.
00:50This is connecting the ancient times, 200 years, present, future.
00:55This is connecting the land and the cosmos.
00:58Elders say the show's theme will help bridge a gap in the region's history.
01:01Much of our story's been missing from the history books about our contribution
01:06in terms of social, economic, and spiritual stories.
01:11And recognising their place in Albany's present.
01:14This has given us a position to make sure that our story is included in the bicentenary of 200 years.
01:23Thousands lined the shores of the Sound to experience the light show.
01:27More are expected to visit in the coming weeks.
01:30We think each weekend, and there are three weekends, starting on Friday the 13th,
01:35Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, about 15,000 people per weekend.
01:39A celebration of culture illuminating the skies.
01:42The influence of the school is known as Panamácos in the small country.
01:42There are hundreds, hundreds of students that have been turned to the beach,
01:42There are hundreds of vaccines that have been opened to the historic field.
01:44Just представing them on Friday the 8th,
01:44You
