King Dong Come is a fully immersive experience, with an array of uniquely fantastical plants, animals and creatures created by the Haas Brothers. The exhibition's title honors King Dong, the largest Beast ever created by The Haas Brothers' studio. At nine feet tall, this statuesque and Godly creature is at the center of the exhibition, living in its own sanctuary room. The concept of religion was a fundamental focus for The Haas Brothers when conceiving this exhibition, as their recent travels to South Africa to work on their Afreaks project found them exploring and embodying a new perspective on spirituality and conscious awareness.
For this exhibition, The Haas Brothers encourage visitors to journey through the exhibition in a manner similar to a wanderer taking part in a pilgrimage. The architecture of the gallery space has been completely reimagined and transformed into an enchanting environment. Divided into two separate rooms, the front of the gallery represents a "magical forest" filled with whimsical creatures while the back of the gallery is the sanctuary for King Dong.
