When asked whether he had to consume all the mooncakes for all 600 tins to make the pagoda, Lim did not answer directly. There's a Chinese pagoda made out of 600 mooncake boxes currently on display in Hong Kong as part of William Lim's solo exhibition.
Mooncakes are the traditional food eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival when Chinese people celebrate the full moon, the harvest and family.
Lim's 4.5-meter tower is made from layers of plywood and empty tin boxes for mooncakes collected from a recycling program. It is held together by nothing but the tension of four steel cables
The pagoda is born out of Lim's triumvirate of passions: art, architecture and Hong Kong culture.
It's fun, simple and so Chinese.
