The ‘rebirth journey’ from Mars to the Earth homeland is represented in an environment which is both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time – it takes place N years later and the Earth has become a ruin due to human over-invention. The world of SKP-S in Xi’an is a metaphor for this by way of the ‘Last Earthling’ – a girl who is reborn and returns to the earth and her nostalgic discovery through memory.

In Chinese mythology, the mother goddess Nuwa used clay to create mankind.

In ancient Greek mythology, Orinomo created the sky and the sea with his hands. For Xi’an in 2022, we are taken back to the creation and the origin of the world and a return to Earth. In 2019 SKP-S Beijing told the story of humans emigrating to Mars and building a life there. This is enhanced by robotic performance art in the form of animals who seek to establish that natural species can be replicated after the world falls apart. Tying in with its predecessor, SKP-S Xi’an is a dream-like experiential retail journey through space and time – an inspired environment catapulting the customer beyond reality and showcasing an intriguing and elevated mix of luxury lifestyle, fashion and beauty.
