08 gathered house

A round room designed to hold 17 of Escher’s famous artworks that embody many of the themes presented in the exhibition such as: reflections, tessellations, extreme perspectives and geometrical forms — interacting with each other in a circular, endless investigation of the infinity. In the centre of the round space suspends from the ceiling a 5 meter in diameter chandelier object.
Made of more than 55,000 small flat black and white houses, the chandelier reveals in its centre a floating large shadow-like house, which is made from a change in the colour of the houses.
When visitors walk around to the back of the installation, white and black are reversed and the floating house appear again.
The visitors need to walk around the exhibition space in its entirety to capture a complete impression of this object, accentuating the feeling of the infinite loop presented in the Escher’s works.
