19877 Heavenly Kiss (14)

Mark's Park, Bondi, NSW

The statement for Ayad Alqaragholli's silicon bronze and high tensile steel sculpture is:
"The figure is very important in art history".

Agreed...

"The artwork is a documentary of what the artist sees in daily life".

Well I know that it's useful to try new positions now and then but really... I don't see this working ergonomically.

The light was rubbish at this point in the morning so I went for a silhouette effect against the clouds, though were I to do it again I may have gone down lower to get more of the chairs into the clouds as well. I didn't do anything crazy with the angle of the land; off in the distance you can just make out that the ocean horizon is level. The sculpture was merely sitting on a steeply sloping hill.

Sculpture 15 to 17 were skipped either because I didn't see them or because I didn't think enough of them to shoot them.
