Suspended like seeds adrift on atmospheric currents, The Seeds of Flight marks Tomás Saraceno’s first permanent public artwork in Australia. Installed in the triple-height lobby of Parkline Place, above Sydney’s Gadigal Station, this monumental installation spans 18 meters in height and 38 meters in length. Fifteen flying sculptures, composed of 116 tetrahedrons in cotton and carbon fiber, float in mid-air—echoing Saraceno’s long-standing interest in alternative flight and multispecies co-existence.

Drawing its palette from the eucalyptus tree, the work shifts color throughout the day, attuning to the rhythms of light and atmosphere. Conceived as a call to reimagine our entanglement with air, The Seeds of Flight invites tenants, visitors, and passersby to contemplate solidarities beyond extraction—between spores, spiders, humans, and wind.

The artwork was commissioned for Parkline Place, the new landmark commercial building above Gadigal Station that is co-owned by Oxford Properties Group and Mitsubishi Estate Asia Pte. Ltd., developed and managed by Investa and designed by Foster + Partners. It was curated by Barbara Flynn.
