Last Drinks: One Last Round at the Hotel Australia

A major Art & About commission for the City of Sydney, staged in Martin Place and Rowe Street. The work summoned the Hotel Australia and the vanished Rowe Street arcade back into the streets that replaced them, using archival recordings and voices of the people who drank, worked and shopped there. The installation is long gone, but the soundscapes survive and can still be listened to.
