The landscape painting was mounted onto the inner walls of a monumental cylindrical structure. The artist formed the landscape into a circular imagery with LED lights along the inner walls. As viewers freely navigate the space, a dynamic interaction between humans and nature is fostered. Yau took the audiences onto an exploratory journey wandering through mountains and rivers, creating an exceptional way of viewing landscapes. This interactive artwork comes alive with patches of light, triggered by visitor proximity, casting a poignant reflection on the impacts of light pollution and environmental change.
Join us in celebrating this artistic exploration of nature and humanity.
