The art of magic made from leftovers
In parallel, Estudio Campana was commissioned to produce two new pieces: an installation for the museum's atrium, entitled Astro, a 12-meter-high hanging tulle sculpture inspired by the images generated by the Hubble Space Telescope.
Pyro, another installation made to inaugurate PSA's Sky Garden and created in collaboration with Chinese garden designer Yuan Zheng, is an oversized cluster of bamboo and steel structures fully integrated with graceful landscape design, which resemble star bursts and dot the space that looks onto Shanghai's skyline.
The 2,000-square-meter rooftop was opened at the same time as the exhibition.
"I am honored to have the opportunity to design this installation for the city of Shanghai. I wanted to create a space for celebration and joy with sculptures resembling fireworks, with the beautiful skyline as the backdrop. It is a nod to nature and architecture as being integral to our future on this planet," says Humberto Campana.
