Interacting at the Museum of Contemporary Art Sydney

My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited

(4) Anish Kapoor is one of the most recognisable contemporary artists in the world today.  The Museum of Contemporary Art is 
featuring some of his works for the first time in the gallery. This photograph looks not only at Kapoor’s 
reflective work ‘The Sydney Eye’, it also looks at what an object is, in relation to other things. In this case, Kapoor’s circular work reflecting the sky around Sydney, is juxtaposed against the solid square matt mass of the museum itself.  It is fitting because Kapoor’s work looks at ideas of form, voids and content, and how an object can be and not be. I was particularly pleased to catch this 
moment of two workers shining the great reflective surface, preparing the work for the public gaze, themselves becoming a piece of art in my photograph. (This photo was taken with an iPhone)
