Creative Direction

An all women-led team work by Du Yun, Spa Theory and Hana S. Kim, “And then，All is Blossoming” 《原来，姹紫嫣红》presented by the Bureau of Garden Landscape of City of Suzhou.

An AR project trailer featuring the famed 80-year-old Kunqu Opera inheritor, performer, Shen Shihua, 沈世华。The work straddles between the UNESCO heritage site, The Master of the Nets Garden 网师园 and the Astor Court at the Met Museum 明轩. Looking at the classical aria from Peony Pavillon, it transmutes an eternal quest, in search of an innermost freedom. This year marks the 40th- year anniversary of the Astor Court, which was built after the Master Nets Garden : this was the first cultural project that China and US collaborated and built since re-established their diplomatic relations back in 1979.
