About MoonGarden.
In the depths of this illuminated realm, a story unfolds—a tale of the Abyss Walkers, beings who emerged from the shadows of an imagined ocean world. They inhabit a sanctuary of light: 14 luminous spheres, each one pulsing pulses with life, inviting travelers to move through the undulating paths between them, drawn deeper into their silent chronicles.
At the heart of this constellation lies the largest sphere, a 20-foot vessel with portholes that reveal a world beyond the ordinary. Here, visitors catch glimpses of Abyss Walkers in their element. These beings—part organic, part mechanical—have evolved from the remnants of a past civilization. Wheels, gears, and metallic fragments have become extensions of their bodies. Shadows cast by shadow theaters dance across the walls, conjuring scenes of an aquatic life reimagined.
In the eastern reach of this realm is an interactive cluster of three spheres known as EXPosure. Here, visitors are drawn into a dialogue with the light, given the power to paint luminous streaks on the spheres’ surfaces. Moving a light source—a lighter, flashlight, or phone—across these orbs creates streams of light. When the light is turned toward the visitor’s face, it generates a selfie.
These chronicles of the Abyss Walkers invite each visitor to become part of an otherworldly symbiosis, where life, technology, and light intertwine. It is a journey through mystery, evolution, and the quiet persistence of life. Highly responsive to various light sources—such as flashlights, smartphones, candles, and more—EXPosure invites users to experiment with light. By directing light toward themselves, users can even capture luminous selfies on the chosen surface, making each interaction a blend of personal expression and collaborative creation.
