“I thought it was part of Vivid”: Sydney man’s freshly installed veneers mistaken for light installation
FLASHY WHITES: A Sydney man’s smile has become an unexpected centrepiece of Vivid Sydney after passersby mistook his new veneers for a cutting-edge light installation.
Mark Iluk-Farrah was enjoying the opening night of event tonight when several people gathered around him, snapping photos and praising “the immersive glow of the piece.”
“I thought it was a commentary on artificial perfection in modern capitalism,” said one onlooker.
“Turns out it’s just some bloke from Double Bay with veneers.”
Witnesses claim his teeth began refracting light across the harbour, momentarily disrupting maritime traffic.
“Someone asked if they could scan a QR code to learn more about my ‘installation,’ says Iluk-Farrah.
“But I told them to DM my dentist.”
Festival organisers have issued a statement clarifying that his teeth are not part of the official Vivid lineup.
