The foreground in the c.1935 photo above shows the rear of 57 Lower Fort Street, and presumably the washing of the occupants hanging above the road. It features on Unguarded Moments favourite photos as part of a the contemporary art exhibition which also lights up the streets around us (see below). Great to see contemporary art finding a place in our neighbourhood and congratulations to City of Sydney for putting this project together.
UNGUARDED MOMENTS is the City of Sydney's Village Art project for Art & About Sydney 2011, based this September and October in Millers Point.
Produced in partnership with creative studio killanoodle and researcher & producer Sarah Barns, Unguarded Moments presents a series of site-specific film portraits capturing the changing faces of Millers Point.
FILM PROJECTIONS: Wander through the area experiencing the living history of the streets as captured on film. Projections will draw from documentary films and photographs, featuring past & present residents and workers. In this way, the history of the working port, its waterside workers and its residents will be re-inscribed back into its present day environment, connecting us to the area’s living history and the ties existing within the community today.
To see the projections begin at Abraham Mott Hall, walk down Kent Street towards Walsh Bay and Windmill Steps, then along Hickson Road towards Sydney Harbour Bridge, where you’ll finish up at the roundabout near Pottinger Street. Click here to view a map.
EXPLORE MORE ONLINE: We've created this website to provide some more in-depth coverage of the many different films, photographs, and people that feature in the film projections. You'll also be able to listen in to past and present residents talk about what life's been like in Millers Point over the years
