Anthony Browell

Hyde Park Harmony

Due to age and disease many of the large old fig trees in Sydney’s Hyde Park will be removed and replaced over the next decade. With their removal we will also lose a poignant remnant of our history – the countless love stories which have been carved into their bark.

Over the last two years Anthony Browell has photographed people in the park, recording them with the trees, using a pinhole camera. This series of photographs is as much a tribute to those who surrendered to the charm of his camera as it is to the splendour of the trees and the calming beauty of the park itself.
