This project was presented with the sparklers unburnt, as part of two separate exhibitions held simultaneously in Melbourne and Sydney.  During the opening night of one of these exhibitions an audience member set the work on fire.  The gallery was evacuated.  The other version of the work remained unburnt throughout the exhibition period.
