Advance online booking for 60th Anniversary of Dongjiang Water Supply to Hong Kong - "Dancing Water Drops Exhibition" opens
To celebrate the 60th Anniversary of Dongjiang Water Supply to Hong Kong, the Development Bureau and the Water Supplies Department will organise a large-scale art exhibition, "Dancing Water Drops Exhibition", at Tamar Park and the Central and Western District Promenade (Central Section) from April 1 to June 13. Advance online booking opens today (March 21). The exhibition aims to signify the vitality that Dongjiang water injects into Hong Kong and to demonstrate an atmosphere of social inclusion. One of the main attractions at the exhibition features a 28.8-metre-tall giant water drop-shaped sculpture, which is by far the world's largest water drop installation.
The exhibition features a set of large-scale "Dancing Water Drops" installations created by internationally acclaimed artist Simon Ma, using water drops as a core concept to symbolise inclusion and vitality. The installation has previously been displayed in Venice, Rome, Shanghai, Hangzhou and Dubai, garnering widespread cultural resonance. The installation comprises two giant water drop sculptures at heights of 28.8m and 18.8m respectively, as well as hundreds of small never-fall water drop sculptures, representing unity and inclusion. The small water drops represent children's participation from different regions, fostering cultural diversity and inclusion.
