the space with fabric hanged
i inspired by how the lightness fabric is shown by hanging them. and in the center of the space they created a wave of fabric. the space is not big as i expected, but they present it well and neat. overall the room divided into 3 parts. the first is the main exhibition. the second is the merchandiser at the back. and the last is a big pitch black space with big screen projector to show the video.

after seen
- amaze by the patterns, even pattern at perimeter
- even the space is small, i still sense it's quite spacious, bright and well arranged
- taking pics in hanging things need patience. the objects moves freely unexpected
- inspired by the idea of hanging, it shows how light their fabric and i can see the fabric's flow. also i can touch and feel the texture. also i can imagine to wear it.
- since the space is quiet of people, i can take shoots freely
