TWEAKING TRADITIONAL CRAFTS

An ongoing exhibition at Shanghai's Duoyunxuan Art Museum, shows how modern design and age-old skills can be married together

The installation The House of Clouds had such a romantic and dreamy atmosphere that a man successfully proposed to his girlfriend in it. It consists of hundreds of pieces of Dai (ethnic group) paper suspended from wires on seven rotating brackets.

When a viewer steps into the room, he enters a dreamy atmosphere surrounded by forest and tranquil music.
