he owns the sky....WE OWN THE WEEKEND


expo 88'. big sky needle. pretty novel.

six months later.....

brisbane city council - "what do we do with it now?"
stefan - "why don't I buy it and resurrect it at my headquarte
rs 500m away?"
brisbane city council - "great idea stefan!"

twenty years later....

brisbane city council - "what are you going to do with it now?"
stefan - "why don't I try
to resurrect my reputation by installing the latest in lighting technology?"
brisbane city council - "great idea stefan!"

so that's what he's done and after months of anticipation, it's alive.

with numerous functions, ranging from that commonly found at the top of a cheap carnival ride to multi-coloured laser beams that dazzle every corner of the brisbane CBD (as well as a strobe effect more than capable of causing epileptic fits), stefan has proven that he is indeed more than a hairdresser.

  1. Can't help but think that Stephanie is trying to tell us something.....all those girls in his salons are actually aliens. The needle. Their telephone home.
