[Rainbow emoji] Artist Alex Chinneck has placed three recent street art installation sculptures at Assembly Bristol in the UK.

[Arrow right emoji] All the works are made of cast metal: two knotted street lamps and a distorted phone booth.

[Arrow right emoji] They are exhibited together with his previous public art work “Bound Mailbox” installed on Cheese Lane, which marks the reopening of the road as a public right - of - way after being closed for 50 years.

[Arrow right emoji] These installations are not just fixed decorations. They glow at night, illuminating the streets with a warm light.

[Arrow right emoji] Both metal sculptures are street lamps. One is tied like a ribbon, with their heads hanging from the knot, while the other has intertwined lamp posts, and their heads still point to the sky, seemingly embracing warmly.

[Check - in emoji] It is because of the latter's pose that the artist named it “The First Kiss of the Last Glimmer of Dawn”.
