A Walk Through The Dreamy Landscape of Illuminating Ovoids at Art@Harbor 2024 Exhibition

3rd April 2024

Hong Kong is undoubtedly a place full of events and surprises. There are always a lot of exciting things to do to enjoy the holidays along with amazing installations. For this season, the Teamlab, an international art collective, brings Art@Harbor 2024 to the main harbors of Hong Kong. We will enjoy this art exhibition that will last until the 2nd of June. This year's exhibition matches the Easter holiday theme.

Hundreds of ovoids that resemble giant Easter eggs are scattered throughout the Tamar lawn area and extended to the water along the promenade. This transformed the harbor front into a Dreamy Landscape. You can check the video here to see what the landscape looks like from the aerial view. You will be amazed by its multimedia effects, alongside resonating sounds, lights, and trees.

Here's the view of the place from above. Stunning, isn't it?

All I did as I made my way through this Dreamland was feel awe and wonder. I heard some people calling this a land of Dinosaur eggs. Those voids are taller than humans. You feel as though you are walking through a hatching paradise of mother dinosaurs, lol. Those eggs must be by colorful dinos then, haha.

I noticed that glowing Ovoids change in colors and sounds continuously as people around interact with each other. Synchronized with the sounds, the light and tone of the trees change as well which eventually resonate with other trees. This makes the place look like an enchanting luminous wonderland.

You'll understand the theme of this exhibition as you walk along, observe the transition of lights, interact with other people, and play with the giant Ovoids. This event showcases Resonating Life which Continues to Stand. I guess most of the visitors only thought that changes in lights were part of the show. If they watch the video at the entrance or read the event's information at the given link, they will find out the facts behind those changes of light, tone, sounds, and the resonating trees.

People, young and old alike, were enjoying as they pushed the ovoids which stand back on their own and emit color and sounds. The light and tone also change with the presence of other people coming from the distance. Just like in the real world, visitors should be aware of the existence of other people in the place. Which is part of the awareness of this event.

If you are curious about this art exhibition, you can find more information on this site.

Simply put, the light conveys the relationship between people, art, and continuity that exists. That's why it's called, Continuous. When there are no interactions, life gets boring, doesn't it? Just like how the light of the ovoids slowly fades when people around aren't interacting.

In the daytime, the ovoids are simply plain white in color, like raw eggs, lol. At night time, when visitors start to enter the exhibition area and interact with each other, the ovoids will start to glow and change in light, tone, and sounds.

It's an interesting art exhibition that gives awareness about the existence of other people around us. Just like the adage, "No man is an island," interaction with other people in this world is necessary to survive. Whether you admit it or not, we rely on one another because oneself isn't sufficient enough.

This Art@Harbor 2024 spans through major harbors of Hong Kong, from Tamar and Central Harborfront, to Victoria Harborfront, and West Kowloon Harborfront. The good thing is that the admission is free for everyone. However, one should book beforehand enable to enter the exhibition area. The booking and other information can be found on this website, TeamLab: Continouos. You can also book at Klook Travel and choose your desired time slot. The show starts at six thirty until eleven in the evening.

So if you are in Hong Kong, you can visit this amazing Art@Harbor 2024 exhibition.

Thanks for your time.
