Macau Senado Square Activated Geofilter with Sheron Chung, 2016

Senado Square has been Macau's urban centre for centuries, and is still the most popular venue for public events and celebrations today. The square is surrounded by pastel coloured neo-classical buildings, creating a consistent and harmonious Mediterranean atmosphere. Understandably, the statue has been destroyed by Chinese people and replaced by a fountain; this is why the square is also called "the Fountain". In the early 1990s, the authority hired some Portuguese experts to pave the square with a wave-patterned mosaic of coloured stones. From then on this area has become a popular place for cultural activities in Macau.
