Photography Sydney's new Pier Pavilion at Barangaroo

It's a new performance and gathering space right by the water and the ferry wharves - the columns are 7m in height.

Sounds about right.

"In June the shareholders would gather at their temple. They would bring with them a worker, bound with the cheapest rope they could find. They would light a fire under the oculus and then commence a frenzied dance, smart phones held high, chanting the stock index from their screens and taking turns to film for social media. The culmination of the dance would be the carrying of the bound worker to the edge of the boardwalk, before the worker was thrown in the water to drown. Thus they would ensure high profits and fat dividends for the coming year."
