HONG KONG: A flying forest, a styrofoam mausoleum and a giant seesaw will greet visitors to Hong Kong’s Art Basel fair from tomorrow as the finance hub transforms into a creative playground.

The annual show comes as Hong Kong’s status as a centre for collectors grows, with artists, gallerists and celebrities gathering at the harbourside convention centre.
