Boats ushered event attendees to a separate floating auditorium offering a spiritual and unique cinematic experience.
Beijing-based Scheeren fashioned his design after local fishermens' lobster rafts.
He wanted to create “a sense of temporality, of randomness” where the pieces playfully joined together.
The modular rafts, loosely assembled, were meant to replicate a floating archipelago of islands within the lagoon.
Scheeren described the project:
A screen, nestled somewhere between the rocks.
And the audience… floating.
A landscape of pieces playfully joined together.
A sense of temporality, randomness.
Almost like drift wood.
Or maybe something more architectural.
Modular pieces, loosely assembled, like a group of little islands.
A congregation of rafts as an auditorium.
