Featuring 67 little bronze bird
statues perched at various locations across the CBD, Sydney's newest public art
showcase has been released into the wild.
Lord Mayor Clover Moore whipped
the covers off the first of two new public art pieces at Macquarie Park this
morning.
Starting with one bronze bird
behind the Obelisk of Distances, the series of birds created by world famous
British artist Tracey Emin stretches to all corners of the city.
Called The Distance of Your
Heart, the art installation which has cost City of Sydney taxpayers $912,000 is
meant to represent how close people are to each other, whether laying in bed
together or at opposite ends of the world.
“The Distance of Your Heart isn’t
just for literal distance, it’s literally for how your heart is feeling,” Emin
said in Sydney this morning.
