Game Palace of Hell Master
Game Palace of Hell Master? Indeed! Together with the Quantum Charge in an Ice Palace, our latest collection Cubist Trilogy leads to another new era in sensory experience.
What kind of game is played in the Game Palace? How does a time-swap between Dawn and Night inside of the Game Palace feel like? All is to be revealed through these two olfactory artworks. Behind this metamorphosis, these two exquisite compositions reflect just one storyline: game might be hell, but hell is only a game.
NIGHT
When the pink glow of sunset-tinged clouds disappears from the ceiling of the game palace, the silvery stars and ecru moon become visible. Absolute silence unfolds across this atmosphere. The thin, grey-blue strand of ceremonial smoke is the only movement noticeable. Look closely and you’ll discover the smoke is from the glimmering cinders, and the flaming blooms at dawn are burnt into ashes. The moment of time shift has arrived: a mysterious, unspoken signal is transmitted through air. It’s 20:30 the ceremony should begin now. The mirrors aligned themselves silently, moving out of their sleeping chamber, and the other creatures inside of the Game Palace come to life again at night, waiting ardently to join this confidential event.
An intense, aromatic blast of Nanmu wood breaks through this almost suffocating atmosphere. Its unexpected aroma overshadows everything in the palace: the gigantic orange bouquets, luscious exotic fruits suspended upside-down from the ceiling, and even the burning red-blue flame from a cubic stone in the centre of the vast hallway.
As constellations drift by on the ceiling of the game palace, the dark blue lightens to sapphire: dawn is arriving. Layers of blushing, fish-scale clouds brighten the translucent sky while the glowing embers of the ceremonial fire are reborn into infinite fragile orange petals. Carried away by a whiff of highly oxygenated fresh air, a new ceremony starts under the cryptic spell of fragrant blooms.
