Circular Quay, Vivid Sydney

 This artwork was located along the Circular Quay foreshore during the Vivid Sydney Festival. The heads on these dogs were both a light source and a reflecting prism where visitors could see their own head reflected inside. The Sydney Harbour Bridge provided a spectacular backdrop.

  1. I have never seen such an interactive sculpture! I guess it works best by night! What a creative idea with the glory of harbour lights and shadows as a backdrop!

  2. What a great photo!
    For ten years ago a taxi driver told me to close my eyes, after 5 min he said look. And I was at that point you took the picture! A wounderful way to see Sydney and Australia for the first time! The opera and the bridge in the evening, I never forget it!
    Thank you !

  9. The chartreuse glow leaves a matching shadow. The Harbour Bridge is amazing even at the distance - a number of shadows fall inside and outside the steel cables. An amazing urban landscape!
