Patricia Piccinini's 'Centrifugal Love Garden' Opens at Passage Gallery in Sydney
Patricia Piccinini's 'Centrifugal Love Garden' is at Passage Gallery, Sydney, from 6 March 2026 to 8 May 2026. The exhibition features kinetic sculptures with motorized biomorphic forms and long synthetic hair strands. A central figure, neither fully hand nor face, wears a leather crown with reddish-brown hair. Below, small blue-white penguin sculptures huddle on a pink floor. Another piece shows a lobed form with tentacular limbs. Passage Gallery is located in Prince Centre, Haymarket, above a noodle restaurant, with a warm salmon-painted interior. Piccinini explores the boundary between biology and fabrication, engaging with biotechnology, care, and ecological thought. Photography is by Document Photography, courtesy of Passage Gallery.
