00:00 The coastal walk from Bondi to Tamarama is renowned as one of the most aesthetic in the
00:06 world.
00:07 But once a year, those pounding the pavement are rewarded with something a little extra,
00:11 when it's transformed into an outdoor art gallery, to the delight of locals.
00:15 I think I was like maybe three when it started and I think I've come pretty much every year.
00:19 My parents used to walk me up and down here in a pram to get me to sleep.
00:23 Now, Sophie and Max have entered their own sculpture, made almost entirely of post-consumer
00:28 plastics, inspired by a shared love.
00:32 Last year we had a dinner party and ate lots of oysters and we all sat together and chose

00:42 Australian artist John Petrie has entered his work 11 times since the event began, this
00:48 year taking out the major prize for his rock sculpture representing the Earth's axis.

01:01 To celebrate 25 years of bringing art to Sydney's iconic coastlines, some fan favourites have

01:13 in 2006.
01:15 While others feature a more modern twist.
01:17 Chasing the Sun is a phygital sculpture, it not only resides in the physical but also
01:21 in the virtual.
01:22 If you can't make it down to sculpture by the sea physically, you can also digitally
01:27 access it through an app.
01:29 Taking art to the people.
