Mid-Autumn Festive Lantern Arts Installations Celebrating Family Reunion & Happiness

Entering the fourth year, coinciding with the 70th Anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China and 20th Anniversary of Macao Special Administrative Region returning to the motherland, the collaboration is led by Macao architect and renowned artist Mr. Carlos Marreiros themed as “70 + 20 Commemoration – All in the Family”. The urban art installations comprising 10 monumental and illuminative lantern sculptures between 2.5 to 12 meters tall located at the Waterfront Promenade of One Central Macau facing the Nam Van lake. All the lantern sculptures are designed by Mr. Carlos Marreiros and six of them are personally decorated by him including the two major Lunar Rabbit Lanterns themed “70 + 20 Commemoration”, the three newly added auspicious pigs, “Swimming Pigs”, “Piggy Piggy Bank” and “Loving Mother”, turning the promenade into a joyful and harmonious festive carnival.

 

Meanwhile, four lantern sculptures are commissioned decorative works in collaboration with prominent and promising artists. They are “Ethereality Adorn Macau” by Macao painter Lai Ieng, “Ears of Flower” by Chinese artist Zuo Zheng Yao, “Lantern” by Portuguese artist Raquel Gralheiro and “How Far Can You Go?” by Italian artist Guido Scarabottolo, gracing the dazzling and fun-filled festive season with bright colors and delicate contour.

 

Mr. Carlos Marreiros also partnered with talented local artists to design magnificent “Wynn Butterfly Story” art installations all along the Wynn Macau waterfront for a truly meaningful and symbolic Mid-Autumn. Together, the artists created “Hand in Hand”, a vibrant installation featuring thousands of glistening lights and over 100 large lanterns that light up the promenade and symbolize families moving forward, hand in hand, to build a new era of prosperity. Two large, LED light installations feature beautiful, fluttering butterflies as they dance above a golden lotus. The LEDs also display “70” and “20” light patterns which symbolize the 70th Anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China and the 20th Anniversary of Macao’s return to the motherland, while also representing Wynn’s celebration of the reunification. All of these dazzling lighting effects are designed to create a magical Mid-Autumn experience for visitors from around the world. 

 

The 4th Macau International Lantern Festival will again extend its exhibits to Anim’Arte NAM VAN, bringing extra fascination with an array of light installations created by Macao design company, Chiii Design. The exhibit, “View Around the Lantern”, based on the combination of two concepts, “Traditional Lantern” with “Novel Experience”, aiming to create an interactive experience with a static installation. The three lanterns each themed “Shining Festival”, “Gather with Jade Rabbit” and “Admiring the Moon”, outlined the theme of Mid-Autumn Festival with interesting patterns and graphics in each panel. Visitor can view the lanterns circularly with multiple perspectives, which strengthen the interaction, at the same time embellish the night view of Macao and the festive atmosphere.
