Aqua Paradiso, a contemporary art exhibition exploring water as a sensory and ecological presence, is currently underway at the Korean Cultural Centre India and will continue until August 19.
Presented as part of the Touring K-Arts programme supported by South Korea’s Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Korea Foundation for International Cultural Exchange, the exhibition arrives in Delhi after being showcased in Austria and Italy in 2025. It marks the programme’s first touring exhibition in Asia this year.
The exhibition features four works by three Korean artists — Kwon Hyewon, BOO Jihyun and Eco Orot — who engage with themes of circulation, sustainability, memory and the relationship between humans and nature through media art, installation and video.
Kwon Hyewon’s Liquid Vision examines rivers as a form of media, tracing the flow of water through diverse landscapes while exploring the intersections of technology and perception. BOO Jihyun’s Where is it going transforms discarded squid-fishing lamps into an installation that reflects on recycling, meditation and natural cycles. Eco Orot’s Ocean Tears and Plastic Mandala utilise marine microplastics, discarded fishing nets and beach-collected plastic fragments to address environmental degradation while encouraging reflection on responsibility, empathy and ecological interconnectedness.

By presenting water not merely as a resource but as a living, sensory subject, the exhibition invites audiences to reconsider their relationship with nature and engage with shared cultural understandings of water as a symbol of purification, circulation and life.
