Central City - Auckland

Central City - Auckland

"Central City - Auckland"

I am trying to make a point of taking a few photos every day, so I am going to take photos of things I think are interesting around the central city in Auckland when I am there. Including works of art like the statures that are around the city.

This sculpture is called Cytoplasm and is by Phil Price. It moves in the wind, so I've included a video of it moving as well as the photos as the video gives a better idea of what it's supposed to look like.

This is called "Long Modified Bench Waitemata" and is by Jeppe Hein, currently it's next to the marina in the Wynyard Quarter. Recently, (about one to years ago I can't remember exactly), it was in the sculpture terrace on the top floor of the Auckland Art Gallery. Today was actually the first day I've seen it in its current position without anyone sitting on it!
