Host: Three Shadows Photography Art Centre

Producer: National Geographic Magazine

 

In Searching for Shangri-la artist and explorer Laurence Brahm adopts the multimedia installation in order to ask: What is Shangri-la, and where could it possibly be located?

 

The exhibition carries the visitor on a journey of questions that goes from the realm of the physical to the conscious and then subconscious, using a series of interactive displays presented as installation art.

 

The source materials for the artistic work derive from drawings, video and photo documentation captured during three Searching for Shangri-la expeditions that were conducted duringthe first decade of the 21st Century, searching for the lost kingdom of Shangri-la. While the explorations succeeded in revealing that the origin of Shangri-la is myth, the exhibition as installation art carries the audience as participants along this incredible journey, in the end unlocking the mysteries of Shangri-la in their own subconscious.
