Tin Town

Public Art · Apparatus · Royal Brisbane Hospital busway station

A 1950s-style toy town modelled on Brisbane, installed beneath the bus platform. Mechanical tin buses move when pedestrians walk past.

People watch through portholes in the pavement, or on a screen showing live footage from tiny cameras riding on six of the buses.
