Tuvalu
Pavilion - Vincent J.F. Huang - Crossing the Tide. Crossing the Tide, reflects
on the plea of small island nations facing the effects of global climate
change. This is manifested by rising sea levels and increasing severe storms
causing floods, and ultimately threatens the future of these small island
nations such as Tuvalu, located in the Pacific Ocean. The flooded pavilion
connects the flooding of the Tuvalu to the flooding of Venice. Crossing the Tide in the Tuvalu Pavilion over slightly submerged footbridges, visitors find
themselves in an imaginary space — a dreamscape, consisting only of sky and
water.
