Rebecca Louise Law's 200,000-Flower Installation Blooms Across Parma

Rebecca Louise Law's Florilegium, a series of floral installations across historic Parma sites, finally opens after a COVID-19 delay. The centerpiece at Chiesa di San Tiburzio features 200,000 flowers, matching the city's population, symbolizing inclusion and rebirth. The exhibition, curated by OTTN Projects, includes sculptural works at Archivio della Congregazione dell'Antica Farmacia and a documentary piece at Orto Botanico di Parma. Originally scheduled for February 29, 2020, the show was postponed due to the pandemic. It runs until December 19, 2020, as part of Parma Capitale Italiana della Cultura 2020, extended into 2021. A public program involves citizens and employees of sponsors Davines, Cosmoproject, and Chiesi Farmaceutici.
