1 — 23 Sep
Brisbane Festival and the Institute for Molecular Bioscience Present
Hiromi Hotel: YU KA 夢花
Like the chrysalis, We might appear with new life, Never imagined.
World Premiere
By Hiromi Tango
Internationally renowned artist, Hiromi Tango, transforms Australian Retirement Trust Festival Garden into a work of rainbow coloured giant peony flowers.
YU KA 夢花 (Dream Flower) explores the ideas of transformation.
Inspired by a poem by Chinese philosopher and father of Daoism Zhuang Zi (late 4th century BC), this stunning installation invites audiences to imagine their own transformation – like the peony flower, which holds special symbolism across many Asian cultures. In Japan, the Peony appears frequently in Buddhist imagery, representing gentleness and compassion. Nature holds so many inspiring examples of transformation. Hiromi’s hope is that YU KA 夢花 (Dream Flower) will create space for everyone to imagine their own transformation.
Also find pop-up installations by Hiromi Tango at Brisbane Quarter, 300 George Street and Brisbane Airport.
This project is supported through the Giving Program by Paul, Susan and Kate Taylor.
Hiromi Tango is represented by Sullivan+Strumpf Gallery
