Circular Quay, Vivid Sydney, bench

As part of the Vivid Sydney festival, this bench has been installed along the Circular Quay foreshore, leading up to the Sydney Opera House. The artwork is called "C/C" and is created by Singapore's Angela Chong. It is illuminated at night with low energy, colour changing LED lights. I thought it was worth photographing during the day because it has such a spectacular backdrop. It's a shame the view was partly blocked by the hoarding around the escalators which are being repaired.

  1. You guys have a lot of cool art there. My first thought was that it looks like it is made of ice, and then I saw your post below about the ice bear. Neat photos, thanks for showing them to us.

  7. Beautiful. Do people sit on it? It looks too fragile,like something out of a fairy tale castle.

  10. Great to see this in the daylight Jim - I've seen Ann's photos of it all lit up at night (which is fabulous) so now I'm seeing a different perspective. What an awesome designer !
