About the artwork

Two artists created this indoor nature landscape using separate approaches. Two polyhedrons hang in the venue, which is coordinated in white. Upon looking inside, infinite images of a beautiful miniature garden and a forest in its natural state appear like a kaleidoscope. A huge pot garden is positioned in the room so that photos hung on walls surround it. Three rocks are placed in the pot garden onto which images are projected. Creating various effects of imitation and illusion using photos, video images, mirrors etc., the two artists invite visitors into their “magical garden.”
