Keep your eyes peeled for a giant red ball set to cause chaos in the streets of Hong Kong this December—no, it’s not a new gym trend, it’s the world’s longest-running street artwork, the RedBall Project!
This oversized orb has been globetrotting since 2001, and now it’s bouncing into town to take over iconic spots across the city. You might just end up being part of its next big moment!
Created by American artist Kurt Perschke, RedBall has travelled through countless cities like Paris, Chicago, London, Tokyo, and Tainan. Now, in the 48th stop of the ball’s world tour, Hong Kong will host this iconic art piece from Friday,Dec. 6 to Sunday, Dec. 15, 2024.
During its Hong Kong stop, RedBall will squeeze itself into 10 culturally significant locations across the city—from Hong Kong Island to Kowloon—offering members of the public a chance to interact with it from any location, while injecting a fresh perspective on everyday scenes that passerby’s may overlook.
The award-winning artist hopes that the playful nature of RedBall spark wonder, creativity, and most importantly, a bit of fun.
“RedBall’s invitation to engage, to collectively imagine, is the true essence of the project. Hong Kong will create its own story,” Kurt Perschke says.
Each day the RedBall will roll into a new spot, so there's plenty of time to catch it in action. The fun happens from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily.
