Flower Atlas – Miya Ando Artwork Rigging

Interdisciplinary artist Miya Ando reimagined the year 2023 as a collection of 365 signature flowers blooming each day around the world. Her exhibition, Flower Atlas, commissioned by Arts Brookfield, showcased 72 cloth banners representing the 72 phenological seasons of the Japanese Kõ calendar. The banners were hung in the Winter Garden at Brookfield Place New York, and created a visual feast that allowed viewers to connect with the ephemeral nature of time and the interconnectedness of living systems. Ando’s work, using various materials and techniques, captured the fleeting phenomena of nature and explored the concept of transience.
