FILA presents an installation by multidisciplinary and award-winning visual artists James Jean. The ultimate in exploration takes us into Orbit, into the far-flung reaches of space. Surrounded by various celestial flora and fauna, our Explorer presides over the glowing path below, as the flow of energy forms an infinite loop, a continuous flow of curiosity, adventure, and discovery. Due to fluctuations in gravity and atmosphere, the life forms in this region of the universe grow large, and alien beings merge with the environment to form lyrical flowers, dreaming mushrooms, and beautiful creatures. The explorers wander through this garden of unearthly delights, drawing wonder, inspiration, and awe from the unknown universe. This exhibition will be the only display of this series of works in Hong Kong, inspired by the art collaboration project of James Jean and FILA- Explore.
