Bridge Lane, laneway art

Bridge Lane features what might be the most bizarre art installation of the Laneways: By George! Hidden Networks project, currently on show. "I Dwell in the City and the City Dwells in Me" comments on how we create cities and how they in turn affect us. The pink blobs of prosthetic on the walls emulate human skin, complete with hair. Human sounds like breathing, gurgling and a heartbeat make this a truly unusual experience.

  7. Very interesting indeed! So unusual. It's the odds that attract curiosity before interest!

  8. That is really bizarre! First thing I thought of was, Giant wads of discarded chewing gum. Second thing was, Not an exhibit to stumble upon for someone who may, for whatever reason, have issues with reality!

  13. Love it. Interesting, provocative, hairy and gurgling... reminiscent of so many things!

  14. Bizarre is right. While I understand what the artist is trying to say, I can't imagine that I would want to listen to gurgly noises while studying blobs of tissue. Still, it's an interesting concept.
