Pitt Street Mall, Lunar Lanterns, Pig

Lunar Lanterns were installed around the city to celebrate the 20th anniversary of City of Sydney’s Chinese New Year Festival. In the Chinese zodiac, every year is symbolised by an animal and this year is the Year of the Monkey. The patchwork Pig with her piglets, designed by Alex Sommer and Brad Clark, was located in the Pitt Street pedestrian mall. Pigs are diligent and generous, with great focus and concentration in achieving their goals.

    1. Hels, I really liked the idea of having these all over the city so everyone could share in the celebrations and it was a bit of an adventure to hunt them down.

  3. Very cool.
    I'd like to have the opportunity to see the Chinese New Year celebrated sometime. They don't hold such a celebration in my city.

  11. What a wonderful patchwork pig with pink piglets. I guess a fence is in order to keep them safe. ;)
