Edge of the Sea is the name of an immersive and multi-sensory campaign exhibition from luxury skincare brand La Mer that explores the role of the sea in everything from healing to discovery. The experience at Shanghai's Power Station of Art dives into founder Max Huber's fascination with polar opposites, sky and sea, and includes stunning 360-degree visuals, audio clips and storytelling.
