Sydney is celebrating its annual arts festival. The Australian city hosts a variety of genres.

Renowned Chinese artist Zhang Huan has erected two five metre high sculptures facing each other. One is made of aluminium and acts as a mould for the second which is created entirely from incense ash from Buddhist temples in China and which will disintegrate over time.

British artist, Mira Calix has created paper walls, sound and dance called “Inside the Falls”. It was its world premiere at the festival. Visitors are invited to individually explore and seek out its secrets. There is one underlying theme to the festival.

“What we really strive to do is have a very diverse festival in many ways. It’s the diversity of shows, it’s the diversity of the background of the artists, and it’s the diversity of accessibility points,” explained the festival organiser, Lieven Bertels.

Australian circus act Limbo performs an exotic mix and draws on both magic and music to seduce audiences.
