Night Bloom emerges as a poignant multimedia art installation that transforms Shanghai’s historic SuHe Haus into a canvas exploring deaf identity and resilience through striking visual metaphors. The projection-mapped artwork employs nature imagery to articulate the deaf experience with remarkable nuance. The wilting flowers and storms, for example, represent societal barriers contrasted with thriving ecosystems symbolizing hope.

The Night Bloom multimedia art installation is animated by three performers who use movement that blends Visual Vernacular and Chinese Sign Language to create a bridge between physical expression and digital artistry. The accompanying soundscape and supporting elements, like behind-the-scenes footage and DJ Ngaio Anyia’s live performance, create a layered sensory experience for all. Additionally, art enthusiasts would appreciate the sophisticated interplay between SuHe Haus’s art deco architecture and contemporary digital projection techniques.
