About the exhibition
This exhibition consists of an animation trilogy and four AR-enabled still images created using natural media and more than one hundred plants. The artworks evoke the emotional journey of a woman in love – from falling in love to finding the love of a lifetime and marriage.
The three-part animation visually focusses on plant growth and development, from the germination of seeds and the growth of stems and leaves to flowering and fruiting. Musically, it is set to three parts (poems II, III and V) of the famous song cycle Frauenliebe und Leben by the German Romantic composer Robert Schumann (1810–1856).
Plants as metaphors for womanly love and the music score from the Romantic era lend the exhibition a rich and delicate emotional feel.
Visitors are encouraged to interact with the AR-enabled still images by following the instructions on the panel next to the images and see them come alive.

Blumentanz / Flower Dance: An Experimental Animation Exhibition
I am honored to tell everyone that my works <Frauen-Liebe Trilogy: Blumentanz> can be exhibited at the Singapore Botanic Gardens, which is the best place for exhibitions of my works! After more than half a year of discussions, the exhibition is finally exhibited at the NParks Botanical Art Gallery. Thanks to Dr. Tan Puay Yok and all of the SBG and Pico team who participated, especially Ratika and Shiya, for all their efforts! The exhibition lasts for one year. Welcome all to visit The Singapore Botanic Gardens, which is a 165-year-old tropical garden honored as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and visit the exhibition!
很開心告訴大家我的植物系列作品《女性愛情三部曲：花簇在婆娑中綻放》目前正在新加坡植物園的植物藝術畫廊中展出，對一個植物錄像來説真的是一個最適合她的展覽空間了！經過超過半年的討論，第一次遠端執行展覽製作，謝謝陳培育教授以及所有參與的新加坡植物園、策展團隊Pico的同仁們，特別是一路給予協助的Ratika以及Shiya，謝謝你們！展出時間爲期一年，歡迎各位新加坡的朋友來逛逛這個擁有165年歷史的被聯合國教科文組織列為世界遺產的熱帶花園，還可以來吹吹冷氣看看動畫玩玩AR哦！
