The public can now explore the Art Garden, an outdoor space adjacent to The Henderson, featuring multiple nature-inspired installations since its opening last Saturday (Mar 29).

Designed by the world-leading Zaha Hadid Architects, the Art Garden’s elegant curves echo The Henderson’s design, making it the company’s first sculpture garden in Asia.

Inside the garden, Breathing Tree, the first zero-carbon kinetic sculpture by American environmental artist Ned Kahn to be exhibited in Hong Kong, is now on permanent display.

The 7-meter-high installation combines wind, water, and mist to visualize nature’s power, dynamism, and energy.

Meanwhile, Hypnotic Dream, a digital light artwork by German artist Philipp Frank, translates the inner frequencies of the garden’s 200-year-old Chorisia tree into abstract light projections, complemented by an immersive soundscape.

Local art group STICKYLINE x Leanna Lee has also been invited to create The Fractal Forest, a limited-time sculpture on display until May 31.

The Group has transformed the Lambeth Walk Rest Garden into the Art Garden next to The Henderson and become the ZHA’s first sculpture art garden in Asia. The Art Garden evolves throughout the day thanks to creative light and sound effects.
