Be entranced by the dazzling glow of neon as you discover the history of this unique artform.
Lawrence Johnston’s documentary, NEON begins in Paris in the 1920s and moves across the Atlantic to America which embraced the light as it spread across the ‘neon hot spots’ of the United States – New York, Los Angeles and especially Las Vegas, the ‘Neon Capital of the World’, and now home to the famous ‘Neon Boneyard’. It is a delightful spectacle of colour and light, music and history, design and cultural heritage.
In any city there are certain signs and places you walk past all the time—the milk bar, a record store…
Who travels around Australia and takes 1000s of photos of old signs? The Gents, that’s who!
