Garten by Rebecca Louise Law

Bikini Berlin commissions vertical floral installation of 30,000 flowers by London-based floral sculptor Rebecca Louise Law

 

Bikini Berlin Concept Shopping Mall, a restored West Berlin architectural landmark, will host a large-scale site-specific floral sculpture from the 23rd March to 1st May 2016, launching Berlin into the spring season and culminating at the Gallery Weekend in early May. Following on from this, the end of June sees the launch of a public flower market staged by Tollwasblumenmachen.de.

 

The flowers, a melange of hydrangeas, peonies, and other vibrant spring florals will be provided by Tollwasblumenmachen.de, who has partnered with Bikini Berlin to fill the architecturally striking, industrial space. Bikini Berlin gave an open brief to Rebecca, who is known for her immersive installations around the world.

 

The installation will be suspended in the vaulted atrium of the restored main Bikini Berlin building. The light-filled space opens on one end to the Berlin Zoo monkey enclosure, and on the other, bustling Budapesterstrasse.
