The 2025 edition of Spier Light Art Festival is here, and visitors to the estate were able to witness and interact with 16 curated installations from both local and international artists. The fluorescent artworks have a variety of themes ranging from pollution (Cloud by Elgin Rust, Jane Appleby, Duncan Greenwood and Michael Methven) to vulnerability (Breathe by Dean Hutton). The displays are a testimony to human ingenuity and creative expression as well as being fun for the whole family. Pictured here are visitor Martha Wessels (left) and Tiffani Dlamini, project manager of Spier Light Art; Wessels takes a closer look at the installation Psst, Look at My Feed by Karla Nixon as Dlamini explains the installation’s social-media themes.
