Melbourne's Sun

Who says the big stars never come to Melbourne? From June 4 to July 4, the Sun will hover over Federation Square. A model of the Sun, made by Mexican-Canadian artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer titled Solar Equation. Lit from within and suspended from cables, it really looks like a massive sun ten or so metres from the ground.

My photos of it are pretty crappy (except this one). That's what happens when you try taking pictures with a digital camera at 11pm without a flash. However this installation is one of many works of pulic art you can see in Melbourne city for a brief time before they are replaced with something else.

Next time – umbrellas in the alley.
