Fireflies

by Cao Perrot

The garden of Swarovski Kristallwelten (Swarovski Crystal Worlds), bathed in magic light at every hour and every season, is a magical place made for dreaming. The innumerable fireflies create this light; as if in an enchanted fairytale garden, they flit and dance through the air and accompany the visitors across the footbridge.

The artist team CAO PERROT, having demonstrated keen acumen designing both large landscape installations and intimate garden spaces, are known for their creative approach of blending art and landscape to make places for dreaming. This has been the duo’s leitmotif for more than a decade, resulting in an impressive portfolio of international projects including the Guangming Central Park in Shenzhen, China; the Red Bowl/White Dome installations in Beauvais, France; and the Jardin des Hespérides in Métis-sur-Mer, Canada.

In their work, CAO PERROT place less emphasis on meaning than on feelings and emotion, drawing inspiration from trees and clouds – familiar images that require no interpretation.
