Geelong’s City Hall will be adorned with photography, historical images, paintings and monuments from midnight on Anzac Day.
The projection art display will commemorate the 108th anniversary of the landing of Anzac troops at Gallipoli.
Free projections by Ian de Gruchy and Olaf Meyer, produced by Multimedia Events, are set to be displayed on the Gheringhap Street building starting from midnight until dawn on Anzac Day.
The imagery will then run from dusk until 11pm every night, ending on Sunday April 30.
Soldiers and nurses during WWI, including First Nations diggers, and sculptures by Peter Corlett OAM including Matron Grace Wilson and Private Ted Kenna VC all feature in the display.
The projections also explore the WWI honour roll, the involvement of women and volunteer troops in WWI, and recent photographs taken by Ian de Gruchy at Gallipoli.
Mayor Trent Sullivan said the City Hall projections would be a chance for community members, including families, to pause and reflect on what our defence personnel have given us.
“Greater Geelong is grateful for the sacrifices and bravery of our Anzac troops and service men and women,” he said.
“The projections are a moving tribute that tell the story of mateship, the human impact of war and the Aussie spirit – they are well worth a visit.”
