Interventions at Freyberg Pool

Victor Berezovsky's Portal intervention can now be seen on the facade of the Freyberg Pool in Wellington (pictured above). And what a journey to get it there!

Portal draws on the simplicity of the building’s design. It takes a key design element – the portal windows in the façade – and reactivates them to ensure the viewer reconsiders this aspect of the building’s design.



Portal is a temporary installation intended to complement and highlight the lines of the Freyberg building design - still fresh in the twenty-first century. But it also draws attention to the many signs, renovations and commercial add-ons that have marred its facade for some years.

Victor Berezovsky's "Portal"

In February Victor Berezovsky will begin the installation of his Portal (pictured above) on the facade of the Freyburg Pool in Wellington's Oriental Bay. Portal is designed to draw attention to one of Wellington most iconic twentieth century buildings, and to reference the activities that take place inside.
