NGV International Has Just Unveiled Its Stunning New Mirrored Installation
Warping your perception of reality.
Get lost in a maze of mirrors at NGV International where a brand new installation work has just been unveiled. Premiering earlier this week, Semicircular Space is a new piece by Berlin-based Danish artist Jeppe Hein, and consists of dozens of polished steel pillars more than 2.5 metres tall. Erected in a labyrinthine pattern, the work aims to distort the observer's perception of reality and call into question the way they view the world.
The maze-like sculpture has been installed in Federation Court in the foyer of the NGV building, where it can be accessed by the public without charge. Point is, if you've ever wanted to run through a hall of mirrors like the hero and/or villain in a Saturday morning cartoon, this is your chance.
You can visit Semicircular Space at NGV International until Friday September 16. It's the latest in a series of contemporary art commissions for Federation Court, made possible by the support of the Loti & Victor Smorgon Fund.
