What is an umbrella sky installation?

An umbrella sky installation is a suspended canopy of colourful umbrellas that can be installed above streets, walkways, courtyards, or indoor spaces. They are immersive and experiential displays that are especially designed for striking visual impact that encourages visitors to look up, explore, and share their experience. These images are from displays in Europe, designed by Impact Plan Art Productions.
