Krista Bursey & DORAS+Re-Birth, 2019 Acrylic & Airbrush on Wall124 x 8.5 ft (37.8 × 2.6 m) Courtesy of MATA +(Re)-Birth is a large-scale, site-specific mural installation that reim agines the gallery as an immersive, living environment. Spanning 124 feet, the work unfolds from the entrance, up the stairwell, and into the main space — dissolving the boundaries between architecture, painting, and movement. Created in collaboration with Marc O’Brien (DORAS), the installation merges distinct visual languages through a unified colour palette, weaving together motifs drawn from nature, mysticism, and mythology. The work shifts between dual states: a “light” daytime experience, and a nocturnal multi-dimensional “dark” experience revealed through UV illumination. By bringing the scale, immediacy, and openness of urban mural practice into an interior setting, +(Re)-Birth disrupts traditional expectations of the gallery space. Live DJ performances during opening hours further activated the installation, allowing sound and atmosphere to shape the viewer’s experience in real time. Show more
