This exhibition features inflatable art, placing imaginative large-scale creatures and plant-inspired works within the Swan Lake Eco-Park. By highlighting the park’s natural environment, the exhibition creates a dialogue between contemporary art and the landscape, blending the old and new cultural elements of the city and sparking playful interactions between art and nature.For the first time, the Cultural Affairs Bureau collaborated with the Yuejin Port Lantern Festival near Tainan’s Yanshui District, inviting artists from Taiwan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom to create eye-catching and whimsical artworks of varying scales at Swan Lake Eco-Park in Xinying, Tainan. The installation encourages visitors—both locals and tourists attending the lantern festival—to also explore Swan Lake, experiencing a period of creativity and wonder during the Lunar New Year.
