LIQUID WALLS
How can physical space interact with people?
In a world filled with images and virtual experiences, architecture was envisioned as a chaotic element, always moving, always different. Everyone is invited to their own personal perspective. Every angle is to be different and nothing remains still.
To achieve this, the entire LIQUID WALLS installation in the 3537 space in the Marais, Paris was built out of recycled aluminum foil, creating walls that forced the public through a narrow corridor. As they catch a glimpse of their distorted reflection, people move through the installation, from one side of the exhibition, to the other. The path is nevertheless oriented from one corner to the opposite, blocking a clear view between both adjacent spaces. The reduced width of the passage, together with the freedom of the hanging strips of foil generates a motion that spreads throughout the walls. Light and sound change as people walk. Their mirrored image transforms continuously as they wander inside.
LIQUID WALLS stands between art, sculpture and architecture to present an ambiguous object that drives people to see everything in an alternate way. Not only their reflection but also their relationship with the surrounding exhibition, as they roam through it. It becomes a portal between different places, setting itself up as an unique and intriguing new element.
