Anywhere Chairs
10 months ago
I have been photographing abandoned chairs on the streets and in piles of junks to be collected by the Councils around Sydney with a camera phone for sometime. Although it seems dreary when capturing remains of broken furniture, what I see is the beauty of social interaction between the residents. In their short life cycles on the streets, they are dumped, offered, overlooked, moved, scattered, rearranged and finally picked up. We do not see whose actions to those chairs as if everyone is working together to create this Sydney's urban responsive living.The film is part of Sydney Songlines workshop, sponsored by the City of Sydney at Metro Screen. I learn a lot from the process. Thanks Stilgherrian for the great narration and rafiralfiro for the wonderful music.

Chrissie 10 months agoWhat a lovely collection of photographs. One persons trash is another's treasure. The treasure is this film. :) -
ApostrophePong 10 months agoThx Chrissie. I am less obsessed with junk on the streets than 3 years ago but still amazed by it.
