In the Mood for Love @ Lee Tung Avenue
‘ I want to create a visual spectacle of colours at both ends of the avenue, punctuating the space with abstract forms – symbols of love, wedding rings, romance and cultural heritage.’
– Sinta Tantra
Lee Tung Avenue celebrated Hong Kong’s arts month with In the Mood for Love, an avant-garde public art installation created by London-based, award-winning artist Sinta Tantra. Making the most of Lee Tung Avenue’s unique mise-en-scène, and paying tribute to traditional Chinese colours, symbols and motifs, the large-scale art piece ran across the tree-lined boulevard horizontally and vertically, transforming the alfresco space into a city landscape growing from the city, and invited all to be part of the ‘living painting’.
