Museum of Contemporary Art Australia: Philippe Parreno: 5 Moons
22 November 2026 @ 10:00 am - 27 April 2027 @ 5:00 pm AEDT

Enter Philippe Parreno: 5 Moons – a world shaped by immersive environments, unpredictable atmospheres and ever-evolving scenes.
Philippe Parreno is a pivotal figure of contemporary art. He describes himself not as an artist, but as an ‘exhibition producer’, orchestrating stunning spectacles and life-like cinematic experiences that think, respond and unfold over time.
Inspired by the moon’s timeless presence in our lives, Philippe Parreno: 5 Moons brings the Museum alive across multiple floors in a dynamic, scripted production that mixes and merges film, audio, installation, robotics, light, wind, temperature – and a mesmerising school of helium-filled balloon fish.
Parreno’s art is enthralling, ambitious, multi-sensory, and never the same twice.
