Roman (une adaptation libre du classique de la littérature chinoise Jin Hua Yuan – « Fleurs dans le miroir », transposé dans l'univers d'un parc d'attraction).
Three Principles of Garden of Mirrored Flowers:
1
"The sensations that visitors to the theme park will experience are precisely those that classical Chinese literature has always wanted to convey: life as a bewildering maze. As such, we can better comprehend one of the key principles for the construction of the theme park: bewilder—the soul— intensely."
2
"In the process of construction, I began to increasingly feel that the process should be an intermittent walk from one area to the next, like how a moving essay is extracted from a grand narrative—this is therefore the second principle of designing gardens: the form may disperse but not the spirit."
3
"Just like the flower fairies, we have all fallen to earth, having lost our inner equilibrium. As such, no one would turn down the opportunity to enjoy the spiritual release and pleasure that this kind of theme park can offer.
Garden of Mirrored Flowers is hence a psychodrama of an even higher class. Therefore, we should be able to understand the third principle for the construction of the park easily: the world's experiential center."
