With the blue of the Harbour as its primary tone, the City Sign echoes with the cityscape in various ways, including the overlapping sculptural letters resembling the dense skyline and the tile-like texture in parallel with the mosaic tiles found in old buildings.
Drawing influence from optical artworks by George Rousse, Camille adopted an anamorphic approach to the design of the art piece. Though each sculpture stands alone as a beautiful object, people can only read the letters of “HONG KONG” from a certain point of view, giving the City Sign its name “Now You See It Now You Don’t”.
Be Amazed at “A-MAZE”, the Playful Maze that Brings People the Joy of Discovery
As an evolution of Walala x PLAY, an immersive maze created for Now Gallery in London, “A-MAZE” is Camille’s first outdoor maze. Like the City Sign, “A-MAZE” resonates with the landscape of Hong Kong and is a repository of various structural forms.
It is not only an art installation, but also a playground and a public open space. Spanning an area of 3,500 sq ft, the fascinating vibrant maze is equipped with seating, allowing people to pause, reflect, and soak up the spectacle around them.
Through “A-MAZE”, Camille hopes visitors tap into the state of playfulness, joy, and discovery that we experienced as a child.
In addition to the public art installations, Camille’s first solo exhibition “Metropolis”, along with a series of thrilling art activities, will take place during the public art show. Further details will be announced soon.
