Pūrerehua is the New Zealand te reo Māori word for ‘butterfly’ or ‘moth’. It is also the word for a traditional Māori musical instrument, a ‘bullroarer’, made of wood, stone or bone attached to a long string. In this light and sound installation, three butterflies in the primary colours of blue, red and yellow come together to produce over 150 butterflies (pūrerehua) in multiple, variegated colours and patterns, born to the sounds of this ancient Māori musical instrument (the pūrerehua). They eventually explode into a celebration of colour, light, sound and magical wonder. This is Daniel Brown and Mark Johnson’s fourth appearance at the LUMA Southern Light Project.
