Neon Lights has also revealed more details on this year’s Neon Nooks, which invites festival-goers to reflect upon our hyper-consumerist culture through the representation of waste, alienation, as well as the necessity of resourcefulness within an urban context as it explores the cycle and treatment of discarded objects – from otherworldly trash creatures to wearable sculptures made from recycled colanders and plastic tubes.

Meanwhile, two Mongo characters, ‘VHS’ (2013) made from VHS tapes and a new work ‘Cable Mongo’ (2019), will be presented at Neon Lights.
