'Mirror Pavilion, Leaf Work', by artist John Gerrard, has been installed at Barangaroo Reserve for the Biennale of Sydney until June 13th.

It's a striking large-scale structure with three sides and the roof clad in highly reflective mirror, while the fourth wall is a high-resolution LED wall that portrays detailed landscapes.

It's an artistic response to the escalating climate crisis and is powered by sustainable energy sources - and was previously sited at Derrigimlagh Bog in Connemara.
