The lowdown

The first major exhibition in Australia dedicated to French artist Philippe Parreno, presented as part of the Sydney International Art Series 2026–27.

Enter Philippe Parreno: 5 Moons – a world shaped by immersive environments, unpredictable atmospheres and ever-evolving scenes.

Philippe Parreno is a pivotal figure of contemporary art, orchestrating stunning spectacles and life-like cinematic experiences that think, respond and unfold over time.

Inspired by the moon’s timeless presence in our lives, Philippe Parreno: 5 Moons brings the Museum alive across multiple floors in a dynamic, scripted production that mixes and merges film, audio, installation, robotics, light, wind, temperature – and a mesmerising school of helium-filled balloon fish.

Parreno’s art is enthralling, ambitious, multi-sensory, and never the same twice.

Exclusive to Sydney. The exhibition is supported by the NSW Government through Destination NSW.
