Mobius in Melbourne


Melbourne has always claimed to be the art capital of Australia and the latest street art there helps maintain that claim.

Mobius is a new public interactive art sculpture in Federation Square produced by large-scale art & design practice ENESS.  What’s interesting about Mobius is that the green geometric shapes can be moved into various patterns and shapes. 

Over two weeks the green geometric pieces were carefully positioned by filmmakers and public volunteers to make this video.  It’s really fascinating to watch the pieces appear to sink and rise out of the ground.

The designer Benjamin Ducroz had first created this sculpture in 2010 as a small tabletop piece called MIMICRY.

There’s also a short film called the MAKING OF MÖBIUS and you can buy a table top Mini Mobius from ENESS too.

It's another great example of adding colour and life to our public spaces.
