Red Fragments

Bloody public art

A provocative piece of public art is set to be installed in Melbourne's CBD.

It's called Red Fragments and bears inscriptions like "blood from a dead baby in Congo" and "blood from a dead seal in Queensland" - intended to be comments on the effects of climate change.

Melbourne's meant to be the arts capital - so does controversial, uncomfortable art have a place on our streets?

Hayley Crane and Amelia Caddy report.
