Hongkongers will be scrambling to see hundreds of illuminated egg-shaped objects lighting up Victoria Harbour in an installation by a team of international artists, one of five free pop-ups at the waterfront as part of “Art March”.
The Leisure and Cultural Services Department said on Wednesday that it expected more than 2 million people to visit the five installations, with two on Hong Kong Island and three in Kowloon between March 25 and June 2.
“This year, we are collaborating with internationally renowned teams and local artists to create outdoor installations that fuse art, science and technology to bring brand new experiences to residents,” said department director Vincent Liu, adding that this year was the second edition of the “Art@Harbour” initiative.
“The Art@Harbour initiative leverages Hong Kong’s iconic Victoria Harbour [as a backdrop] for the artistic installations in the hope of making it into our artistic brand,” deputy director Eve Tam Mei-yee said.
The installation, titled “Continuous”, at Tamar Park in Admiralty features about 200 egg-shaped objects, each of which are three metres or five metres tall.
