New unexpected discoveries today - the first a mini city made out of plastic milk bottles
Artist Gayle Chong Kwan created 'Wasteland', which is described as an 'immersive contemplative environment' to encourage visitors to reconsider the role of waste on everyday life. The project was inspired by Moravia, a district of Medellin in Columbia, built on top of a rubbish dump after people were displaced from their homes. If you're passing by and have the time, duck in and see it because it is quite striking. 'Wasteland' is part of a series of installments going at Southbank this summer, and there's lots to see.
This colourful sand pit reminded me of a recent post by West Polar, where crowds were dispersed with coloured water. Great mix of concrete and colour.
In contrast to Kwan's plastic world, on my way out of the little high up corner of Southbank I ambled into its rooftop garden, which is so beautiful and lovely and quiet too.
Can't wait to go back and enjoy a drink there.
