ZERO // Brand new and never exhibited before, AEON (or Zero) by Perth artist is a site-resonant and experiential installation conceived in response to the significance and notion of ‘centering’ a city.

Point Zero is the marker from which all distances to Perth are measured and represents the centre point and civic heart of the city. Situated on the south-east corner of the Old Treasury building on the corner of Cathedral Avenue and St Georges Terrace, the marker was chosen during the building’s life as the state’s first post office and adopted in 1925 - two years after it ceased operating as a post office. An understated plaque marking the adoption was laid in 1975. Now, it continues to be the marker for all distances measured to and from Perth worldwide and, as a corner of the revitalised precinct, marks a return of activity for the city to where it all began.

This exploration of a ‘centre’, a ‘point zero’ through a light and sound-based installation allows the audience to physically get a sense of being immersed within a centre. This new light and sound installation envelops audiences into a timeless geography of what it means to be standing inside ‘zero’. Tom Mùller will collaborate with acclaimed Western Australian composers and contemporary dancers to create a truly immersive and absorbing artwork transporting the audience to the beginning – point zero.
