Art and About ... peri(pheral)scopes looking over to the over-looked

In Skittle Lane, there is an installation by Heidi Alexson, Adriano Pupilli and Hugo Moline -  a series of periscopes, purportedly showing views of Western Sydney (the over-looked part of Sydney). Only one was working when we stopped by. But I loved the graffiti art (NOT part of the official art...) backdrop to one of the periscopes.

Here's a previous post on Skittle Lane and how it got its name.

  2. This reminds me of the original theater in the West (Greenwich) Village, New York, where the Blue Man Group first performed. They had an art installation called "tubes." While in the lobby you would hear peoples voices coming up through periscope tubes that lined the walls.
