A total of seven art sculpture installations were unveiled yesterday evening at ONE CENTRAL in Nape.
Entitled “One Central Loves Macao” and inspired by stained-glass artistry found at local landmarks, some of the exhibits are displayed in the mall, while the outdoor “Love Macao” installation can be found by the entrance. This installation, which features rainbow lights and colours, was designed by local artist Tramy Lui (雷欣宜), using the piece to showcase her love for the city.
The “Love Macao” interactive installation references local landmarks and Macau’s intangible cultural heritage, glimpses of which can be found on each letter, according to a statement provided at yesterday’s lighting ceremony at the ONE CENTRAL Macau mall.
Moreover, Lui’s six other works located within the shopping centre’s ground and first floors comprise the “Macao’s Heart” installation, which shows a red heart in front of the Ruins of St. Paul’s; the Guia Hill Pedestrian Tunnel and Lighthouse-inspired “Beacon of Sound”; and four colourful “Time Capsule Mailboxes”.
Yesterday’s opening ceremony was attended by guests including Lui and Hong Kong actor and singer Raymond Lam (林峯), along with those from government entities and the arts and culture sectors in Macau and Hong Kong.
Meanwhile, in celebration of the launch, there will also be shopping rewards offered until May 11, among which are rebates and complimentary flight tickets to destinations in Asia.
