A Must-See Installation at the National Building Museum
2023 Best of Year Winner for Installation
New York architecture and design studio Reddymade was inspired by ancient Japanese magic mirrors—polished-bronze surfaces that reveal hidden images when illuminated—for “Look Here,” the large-scale public artwork that occupied 5,100 square feet of the National Building Museum’s Great Hall during the summer. Comprising a constellation of highly reflective, aluminum-clad forms suspended above a curved ramp culminating in a pillow-strewn observation platform, the installation offered visitors a kaleidoscope of changing perspectives on the vast colonnaded space as mirrored in the shiny prismatic fractals overhead. By visually deconstructing and reassembling the monumental 19th-century Renaissance Revival atrium, the dazzling work suggested how the way we experience the built environment shapes our understanding of the world and our constantly shifting place in it.
