Masters of Light - From Vienna to Shanghai
De meeslepende ervaring, retrospectieve tentoonstelling en blik op de toekomst Masters of Light - From Vienna to Shanghai is de eerste ontdekkingsreis naar het erfgoed en de revolutionaire geest van een van de oudste Europese luxemerken.
Elke bezoeker wordt middels een unieke en panoramische scenografie, verdeeld over zeven wonderkamers, meegenomen op een reis van het 19e-eeuwse Wenen, waar Daniel Swarovski voor het eerst werd geïnspireerd om de creatie van kristal opnieuw vorm te geven, naar het 21e-eeuwse Shanghai en verder.

Swarovski has a rich history of collaboration with global contemporary artists. To celebrate Masters of Light - From Vienna to Shanghai, Swarovski collaborated with Beijing artist Tian Xiaolei on an installation of digital artworks. Drawing inspiration from Swarovski Crystal and translating it into a new medium, Tian expands his ongoing Myth artwork series, which showcases fantastical human-machine hybrids as visions of future humanity. Limbs fuse with Swarovski Crystals, as if jewellery is part of the anatomy.
