In this context, and with the intention of enhancing or highlighting the innate beauty of nature, generating a new look, the architect Ma Yansong, founder of MAD Architects founder, was invited to the first edition of the Art at FULIANG 2021 festival, in the I present "Light of the Earth", placing it on a hill, in the middle of a field of tea.
The area is one of the few major black tea production regions, home to a rich culture of porcelain production. The resources of this ceramic material, the abundant water and the vast fields of tea have given the region a unique landscape.
The proposal becomes an objective that activates the desire of the visitor to cross these wonderful fields of tea to reach the lantern, giving a different vision to the way man and nature are related.
Ma Yansong's proposal is the installation of a corrugated steel structure clad with a translucent white membrane that surrounds a small group of trees, sometimes blurred by fog during the day. At night "the light of the earth" illuminates the structure in different colors.
"Land of Light" is another installation work by Ma Yansong that follows the making of "Tunnel of Light".
The second work marks the exhibition design for "Forma Fantasia," artist Liu Wei’s installation within "Nine tiered pagoda — Spatial and visual magic," a cross-disciplinary collaboration between nine groups of artists, architects, and graphic designers. "Forma Fantasia" will be on view at Vector Architects’ newly completed Pingshan Art Museum in Shenzhen through october.
