The magical Field of Light experience at Uluru has been extended for a second season and will now continue to delight guests until March 31, 2018.

The installation by renowned artist Bruce Munro features more than 50,000 stems crowned with frosted-glass spheres over an area the size of four football fields.

Aptly named Tili Wiru Tjuta Nyakutjaku or ‘looking at lots of beautiful lights’ in local Pitjantjatjara, the exhibition is Munro’s largest work to date and also the artist’s first work to be illuminated entirely through solar power. The spheres, connected via illuminated optical fibre, bloom and appear to sway as darkness descends over Australia’s spiritual heartland. Pathways invite visitors into the artwork, which comes to life under a sky brilliant with stars.

“Field of Light was one idea that landed in my sketchbook and kept on nagging at me to be done,” said Munro. “I saw in my mind a landscape of illuminated stems that, like dormant seeds in a dry desert, quietly wait until darkness falls, under a blazing blanket of southern stars, to bloom with gentle rhythms of light,” said artist Bruce Munro.

Longitude 131° guests experience the interactive artwork as part of the signature experiences program, arriving at dusk to meander around the field before enjoying the cool night skies at Table 131°.

If needing an excuse to visit this bucket-list destination soon, then this is surely it.
