Tomorrow, an exhibition called "ririkiRARAHI/littleBIG" will open at the Dunedin Public Art Gallery.
It features 40 massive yellow tentacle-like inflatables people can walk through.
The artwork brings together two pieces, the smaller Yellow Tentacle Pram, made by artist Don Driver in 1980, and the large piece Periphery, by Seung Yul Oh, made in 2013-15.
Dunedin Public Art Gallery technical specialist Jen Boland said Periphery was an artwork you could touch with "gentle hands".
She said the yellow forest made it feel as if the "tentacles" from the smaller artwork had grown exponentially inside the room.
"I saw this as that joy of those baby tentacles being fully grown and in their own space and having life — that’s been the idea of ‘littleBIG’."
Ms Boland said having an art piece people could interact with was not only fun, but was also a great introduction to art for younger people.
When the inflatables were gently nudged it looked as if they were swaying like a forest in the wind.
The exhibition’s layout will change every day as the artwork sways and moves around the room.
"Smaller people might be a little bit scared, but there’s ways to move through it quite gently where it doesn’t need to be an intimidating thing."
On Sunday, the art gallery will have yellow face painting available as well as an opportunity to make yellow balloon animals to go along with the installation.
"ririkiRARAHI/littleBIG" will be open to the public for the next three months.
