The dyslexia exhibit




We were walkng round Christchurch and came across this intresting and unusual thing; an open air sculptural garden to promote understanding of dyslexia. The sculpture in the photograph says "The boy who could do better" which is more or less what all my school reports said. There are some seats; and when you sit on them an audio system is triggered and you get information about dyslexia.


The figure is reading a book, and the words flow out of the book and around the garden. The words themselves are crammed together and almost overlap. You can read it but its a bit confusing at the same time. It's outside the New Zealand institute for Dyslexia.
