This fountain was a temporary art piece located in Customs House Square at Circular Quay last week. It was part of the promotional launch of the first all-electric car commercially available in Australia. The conceptual art display, "A World without Petrol", reused 38 old petrol browsers re-imagined as various art works, including this working fountain featuring a number of bowsers, at the centre of the square.
Really wild Jim.
ReplyDeleteGreat sculpture and shot. One day we will have to live in a world without petrol.
ReplyDeleteI am with Al - no petrol thanks! But I am not sure about the fountain hehe
ReplyDeleteI see a huge lamp...this fountain would be beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining Inviting you to join Water World Wednesday I do appreciate it. See you next week!
I wonder how it looks like in the night :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an ingeneous fountain!
ReplyDeletelina@happy family, apparently these fountains were lit up at night and I can imagine that they may have added some colours on this white one.
ReplyDeleteWhat a contrast to have this modern sculpture in front of the older architecrre of the building.
ReplyDeleteWow,- that fountain was something special!
ReplyDeleteGreat post!
:)
Hmmm, just as well it's temporary, Jim!
ReplyDeletestrange piece of art. But interesting in a way.
ReplyDeleteInteresting fountain Jim!
ReplyDeleteAnother new word for me. Browser. Looks like what we would call a gas pump. Very interesting use of the old things.
ReplyDeleteRita, I didn't realise bowser was an Australian term. I just googled it and found that it is a uniquely Australian English word for petrol pump or gas pump. :)
