Seeing the countless Mooncake boxes discarded during the Mid-Autumn Festival, lighting designer Mingshi had the idea to collect these empty boxes and create an installation in the shape of a miniature city, a festive metaphor for a Cantonese city where gastronomy is ever-present. Under the banner of recycling, the installation stacks the boxes in the style of Boltanski and animates them with light pathways, blending references from traditional melodies to Steve Reich. Conception by Huang Mincong, animations and programming by Clément Himbert
