Whether you’re a casual Instagram user or a photography fanatic, you’ve likely come across a post by Accidentally Wes Anderson (or AWA for short), a platform known for showcasing moments in daily life that replicate the American filmmaker’s signature symmetrical style. This internationally acclaimed art project has held exhibitions in cities such as London, Tokyo, Seoul, and Los Angeles, and this July, it’ll be arriving in Hong Kong for the first time at The Mills and Airside simultaneously.
From July 15 to September 14, these stunning exhibitions will feature over 100 real-life photographs taken by AWA’s founders and global contributors that embody Anderson’s whimsical style, complemented by the exhibition space’s bold colours and meticulously designed installations that reflect the filmmaker’s iconic centred framing.
Both exhibitions will display the colourful photos in different thematic zones – hotels, doors and facades, pools, lighthouses, and a Hong Kong-themed section. Additionally, the hotel zone at The Mills’ exhibition will recreate the iconic entrance and reception from The Grand Budapest Hotel – so be sure to snap photos here! What’s more, visitors can also check out each exhibition’s Hong Kong-exclusive AWA pop-up store, featuring merchandise such as posters, tote bags, pins, and more. Entrance to both exhibitions is free, find more details about AWA’s first Hong Kong exhibitions on The Mills’ Facebook page.
