Red Stix

Red Stix

Inbetween the Yarra and Federation square stands a sculpture called Red Centre by artist Kon Dimopoulos. It is a sculpture of several rods of resin which sway in the breeze, also passers by can move the rods. they make gentle clicking, clanking (and other onomatopoeiac) sounds as they hit each other when they move
“It’s really a kinetic work made of a variety of reeds that move in the wind,” Dimopoulos says.
Looking for a different perspective to experience the work, on impulse I thrust my Diana camera into the centre of the rods and photographed an upward looking shot that Ai think gave a rather interesting result.
