PAM AT BOLTE BRIDGE
The daydream. 140 metres of blank, spotlit, unclimbable concrete is the wall every Melbourne painter has mentally done and nobody has. Pam gets close — the CityLink maintenance gantries and the Docklands sheds underneath carry the bird at full size.
THE PLACE
Two blank concrete pylons standing 140 metres over the Yarra, carrying CityLink across the docks. They hold nothing up — they're purely there to be seen.
Which is exactly why they're the daydream surface: unreachable, spotlit, visible from most of the inner city.
