Angel Place features an installation known as "Forgotten Songs", which is part of the Laneways: By George! Hidden Networks project. It features a canopy of empty birdcages hanging in the sky, accompanied by the sounds of Sydney's lost birds which may have lived in this area, before the city including this laneway, replaced their native habitats.

that is so neat, I was thinking you were going to tell me they were in China, as they are keen on birds there..

ReplyDeleteTerry, the laneway art installations are temporary. They will be there for about four months, until the end of the Festival of Sydney which runs in January. There are plans to do other things in the laneways in the future.
ReplyDeleteForgotten songs - ingenious idea!
