When it comes to art, sometimes the simplest ideas are the most beautiful.
In Wellington, an artist has come up with the idea of turning a fountain in the harbour into a very personal display of light and water.
It's an unexpected surprise for passers-by who happen to be strolling along Oriental Parade after sunset.
Through the spray of the fountain's water, an enormous ghost appears of what appears to be a man swimming into the sky, flipping and turning and floating in space..
It captures champion New Zealand freediver William Truebridge, who set a world record for freediving to 102 metres on a single, four-minute 13-second breath.
Artist Sam Truebridge, William's brother, says he wanted to turn the whole surface of the harbour into a stage.
"There's nowhere else you have a fountain this close to a whole bunch of suburbs this close and you instantly create a theatre," he told Seven Sharp.
