ST. GERMAIN LOS ANGELES

St. Germain Los Angeles

 
In celebration of Maison St-Germain’s LA debut, Kwong collaborated with the French elderflower liqueur brand on a stunning immersive installation of landscape art featuring more than 20,000 blooms at LA’s legendary Houdini Estate in the Hollywood Hills.

The one-night-only visual experience featured elements of magical realism and illusions throughout the five-acre property, including magicians, a performance by art organization NoOne ArtHouse, improvisational sound art by Patrick Belaga and Celtic tarot reading. Vintage black-and-white films were projected in gazebos, and the creation of a ‘Light Maison,’ made out of projected lights and hanging flowers, was a highlight among guests who flocked to snap photos.

After the event, all florals were donated to The 14th Factory’s gallery in downtown Los Angeles to accompany the disassembly of Kwong’s ‘Garlands’ installation there, creating a one-day pop-up floral shop experience, where flowers were gifted to the community of Lincoln Heights and greater Los Angeles.
