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

[Right arrow emoji] All the works are cast from metal: two knotted street lamps and a twisted telephone booth.

[Right arrow 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.

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

[Right arrow emoji] Both metal sculptures are street lamps. One is tied like a ribbon, with their heads hanging from the knot, while the poles of the other are intertwined, 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”.
