Last year we saw multi-coloured inflatable arches take over Federation Square, and now we have something even grander. 'The Knot' is large pink sculpture that’s set up right in the middle of Fed Square.
As the name suggests, it’s a three-dimensional inflatable artwork in the shape of a tangled knot. Visitors will be able to walk around the fluorescent-pink sculpture which will be on display between July 15 and September 5. The blushing beauty is the work of French artist Cyril Lancelin, who is well known for creating large-scale public artworks. 'The Knot' was first exhibited in Hangzhou in China in 2017 where it stretched 30 metres wide and eight metres tall.
It’s here as part of Fed Square’s Anything But Square winter program, a festival that encompasses free workshops and activities in partnership with French language school Alliance Française de Melbourne.
