“Opera Mundi,” was screened from May 22 to June 13, 2026, at the Sydney Opera House (Australia) during Vivid Sydney .

The beauty, fragility, and complexity of living things have provided endless inspiration for artists and architects. Among them, Utzon designed the Sydney Opera House as a deeply organic piece of architecture, whose forms evoke unfurled sails or shells sculpted by the elements. Drawing inspiration from the iconic silhouette of the Sydney Opera House, Opera Mundi—which translates to ‘works of the world’—embraces and extends this sensitive connection to nature.

The animation transforms microcosms into luminous, kinetic forms, emphasising relationships in the natural world. Through precise transitions of light, subtle details emerge on the surface of the architecture, revealing the sublime forms and mechanics of living things. Each sequence offers a zoomed, graphic interpretation of natural phenomena, revealing easily missed complexities through Nguema’s unique visual language.
