Frank Gehry's Mad Tea Party

Frank Gehry, Wishful Thinking (detail), 2021

The Los Angeles Philharmonic will present Wishful Thinking, a sculptural installation by Frank Gehry. A walk-thru, oversized imagining of the Mad Hatter's tea party, it is also a sort of auto-retrospective. The sculptural forms of Gehry's Lewis Carroll characters evoke several of the architect's key projects: the Museum of Pop Culture, Seattle (2000); the Marqués de Riscal Hotel, Elciego, Spain (2006); the Biomuseo, Panama City (2014). 

Wishful Thinking will be in Walt Disney Concert Hall's BP Hall Feb. 19 through Mar. 20, 2022. Admission is free but restricted to concert ticket holders and Disney Hall tour groups.

The work intrigues me. Hints of the Hanover Merzbau.
Pity no other photos available. I'd love to view its entirety, in the round. But even Google images shows only this one photo.
