Andrea Galvani’s first solo exhibition in Asia envelops visitors in an immersive experience that alters the perception of time. The Italian artist extends the brief life of twenty rare butterfly species - from just a few weeks to 73 years, the global human life expectancy - using super-slow motion technology capable of capturing up to one million frames per second. Seconds stretch into minutes, wingbeats unfold into a monumental choreography. Projected at architectural scale, the luminous butterflies move through a radiant violet cosmos where natural aging - the fraying of wings, the fall of iridescent scales - becomes a meditation on life’s fragility and resilience, dissolving the boundaries between void and eternity. A soundtrack by Federico Albanese heightens the emotion with luminous yet melancholic melodies, synchronizing ascent and descent, stillness and motion. Born in Italy in 1973 and based between New York and Mexico City, Galvani fuses art and science to push human perception beyond anthropocentric limits, toward a boundless flow of life.
Executed with precision and artistry, the holiday programme, from dining to décor and gifts, is a celebration for the senses, inviting guests to gather with those closest to them.
