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.
