Live and Let Live Exhibition: A Powerful Message of Environmental Conservation

An Immersive Experience to Raise Awareness on Endangered Animals

The exhibition features the work of environmentalist artist Laurence Vallières, who skillfully recreates lively scenes of endangered animals such as polar bears, snub-nosed monkeys, red pandas, koalas, and shoebills. As visitors explore the exhibition, they are transported to the natural habitats of these creatures, allowing them to witness their beauty and magnificence firsthand.

However, the underlying message of the exhibition becomes apparent as visitors realize that these animals are already being placed behind museum glasses, preserved only as memories and records for future generations. The juxtaposition of the vibrant and lifelike sculptures with the reality of their endangered status serves as a powerful reminder of the urgent need for action.

One of the exhibition's highlights is an interactive see-saw that represents the delicate balance of nature. With humans and animals sitting on opposite ends, the see-saw tilts when an audience member stands on a scale in the middle. This interactive installation symbolizes the interconnectedness of all living beings and the importance of maintaining harmony in our ecosystems.

In addition to the interactive installations, the exhibition incorporates innovative technologies to provide visitors with a deeper understanding of each endangered animal. Through interactive displays and informative content, audiences can learn about the unique characteristics and challenges faced by these species, fostering a sense of empathy and connection.

The Live and Let Live Exhibition was held at the Taikoo Hui Guangzhou from June 26th to August 2nd, 2020. The location, spanning 127 square meters, provided the perfect backdrop for this immersive experience. The exhibition received widespread acclaim and was included in multiple school trips, inspiring young students to take action and submit environmental protection proposals.

By combining art, design, and technology, the Live and Let Live Exhibition successfully conveys a pro-environmental message to its audiences. It serves as a powerful reminder of the urgent need to protect and preserve our planet's biodiversity. Through immersive and interactive experiences, visitors are not only informed but also encouraged to actively engage in environmental conservation efforts.

The Live and Let Live Exhibition was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail, and Exhibition Design category in 2022. This prestigious accolade recognizes the exhibition's outstanding creativity, technical skill, and contribution to improving the quality of life. It showcases the commitment of Inception Cultural and Creative Co., Ltd to creating impactful designs that make the world a better place.
