Chatswood Chase - Lunar New Year walk-through installation

Next date: Wednesday, 18 February 2026 | 10:00 AM to 07:00 PM

This Lunar New Year, Chatswood Chase will present Junying Flowing Light, Chasing the Wind for a Thousand Years, a contemporary walk-through installation inspired by the traditional Chinese art of paper cutting.

Traditionally used as symbolic window decorations, Chinese paper cuts are reinterpreted in this immersive installation through light, shadow and movement. Using hollowed paper-cutting techniques, layered sculptural forms create an environment that visitors can walk through, experiencing the craftsmanship and visual storytelling of the art form at an architectural scale.

At the centre of the installation, a galloping horse leads the remaining eleven zodiac animals, symbolising momentum, renewal and the journey towards a prosperous year ahead. As light filters through the sculptural forms, shifting shadows animate the space, evoking the rhythm and energy of horses in motion.

Blending cultural heritage with contemporary design, the installation celebrates the Chinese zodiac, tradition and new beginnings, offering a meaningful way to welcome the Lunar New Year at Chatswood Chase.
