AN INTERVIEW WITH BRIAN ENO
Brian Eno's installation '77 Million Paintings' is being projected onto the Sydney Opera House every night for three weeks as part of the Vivid Sydney art and cultural festival. The music and performance festival, for which Eno has curated a programme of about 30 local and international acts, is part of the larger, Vivid Sydney cultural event taking over the city. The former Roxy Music keyboardist and frequent U2 collaborator talks here about his ever-changing installation comprising about 300 of his drawings projected onto the sails of the opera house. "What I am most interested with this work is to create a situation where you can experience some kind of surrender," Eno said. "Where you stop being you and stop thinking about you and your particular life and existence and the laundry you didn't pick up and the coffee you wanted to get and, for a little while, surrender to something."
