In pictures: Bubbles cascade down Hong Kong’s harbor in public art exhibition

MILLIONS of bubbles filled the air at Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour as part of a public art exhibition by renowned Japanese artist Shinji Ohmaki.

The exhibition will run till August 20, and will feature Ohmaki staging 20 types of bubble “performances”.

“I wanted to create a space made with bubbles and light for people to ponder, ‘What would happen if the world disappeared instantly like a bubble?’” he commented.

Naturally, the exhibition pulled in locals and tourists in droves, most who snapped away on their smartphones.

Here’s a glimpse of what went down.
