This exhibit promises to provide visitors with fresh insights into the science fiction genre, offering encounters with diverse futures and alternative dimensions that draw inspiration from the rich history and culture of Asia.
Featuring nearly 70 contemporary artworks, ancient artifacts, and selections from both Hollywood and Asian cinema, “New Eden” offers a one-of-a-kind journey through time and space, unveiling intriguing realms and unfamiliar lifeforms. The exhibition expands upon well-known Western science fiction concepts such as parallel universes, interstellar travel, and transcendence – ideas deeply rooted in Asian philosophy and spirituality.
By delving into Asian mythologies and philosophies, including hybridity, mysticism, the transcendence of human corporeal limitations, and the enduring dream of an otherworldly paradise, “New Eden” also draws connections between these distinct cultural traditions, suggesting that certain science fiction themes may have their origins in Asia. It’s an exploration of the intersections between imagination and reality, offering a fresh perspective on the genre.
