German artist Sabine Hornig will create the largest permanent public artwork to date at Barangaroo South. Commissioned by Lendlease and the Barangaroo Development Authority, Shadows by Sabine Hornig will be installed across a 170-metre walkway connecting the three international towers at Barangaroo South. Due to be finished by the end of 2018, the vast site-specific installation will see Hornig’s photographic images of indigenous Sydney flora layered onto high curtains of multi-coloured glass walls in the walkways and passages between the towers, providing a visual axis for pedestrians traversing the site. In developing her work, Hornig spent time in and around Sydney, sourcing imagery that is native to the areas surrounding Sydney Harbour. The final designs in the artwork feature native plants, transparent shadows and reflections that are combined to create a botanical discovery route along the Through-Site-Link. The transparent glass in the artwork reflects what Hornig describes as “beautiful iridescent shadows” that will reflect the viewers’ own faces and bodies. Pedestrians become participants in the art and “people will literally walk through the imagery,” she says.
