Garden of Mirrored Flowers

Hu Fang - Garden of Mirrored Flowers
Roman (une adaptation libre du classique de la littérature chinoise Jin Hua Yuan – « Fleurs dans le miroir », transposé dans l'univers d'un parc d'attraction).
Three Principles of Garden of Mirrored Flowers:  
1
"The sensations that visitors to the theme park will experience
are precisely those that classical Chinese literature has always
wanted to convey: life as a bewildering maze.
As such, we can better comprehend one of the key principles
for the construction of the theme park: bewilder—the soul—
intensely."

2
"In the process of construction, I began to increasingly feel that
the process should be an intermittent walk from one area to the next,
like how a moving essay is extracted from a grand narrative—this is
therefore the second principle of designing gardens: the form may
disperse but not the spirit."

3
"Just like the flower fairies, we have all fallen to earth, having
lost our inner equilibrium. As such, no one would turn down the
opportunity to enjoy the spiritual release and pleasure that this kind
of theme park can offer.
Garden of Mirrored Flowers is hence a psychodrama of an even
higher class.
Therefore, we should be able to understand the third principle
for the construction of the park easily: the world's experiential
center."
