Empty birdcages above Angel Place.

The birdcage artwork is actually called “Forgotten Songs” by Michael Thomas Hill. It’s in a tiny laneway between two major Sydney CBD streets and the skyscrapers.

“As you stand underneath the birdcages you can hear the sounds of the birds that once inhabited Sydney before the city built up to what it is today. As day becomes night, the sounds of the birds change too!” (From: “Travelling with Nikki. A blog of my travels around the world.” https://www.travellingwithnikki.com/2014/03/angel-place-sydney/

What an interesting display. Are the songs from wind through the cages or taped or just in the imagination? Super street capture. Love it in b&w.

The songs are recorded and depending on the time of day or night they play different versions.
