Southbank Local News

We got a very cute write up in the South bank news too!

It seems the photographic journalists at “Southbank Local News” might have to watch their backs as there is a new breed of snappers in town.
Paparazzi Dogs is an artistic display that was specially-commissioned for Federation Square and is the work of Sydney-based artists Marc and Gillie Schattner.
The dogs were installed in January and are part of Federation Square’s Creative Program, which is running over summer.
The installation will be available to the public until April.
Southbank Local News was unable to locate the dogs’ Instagram account, so we are unsure where the photos produced by the dogs are being published.
