Swing to infinity

infinite swinginfinite swinginfinite swingAn installation at the Museum of Modern Art in Aalborg, Denmark by German artist Thilo Frank, allows visitors to swing into the infinite.

The Phoenix is closer than it appears” is a 4 x 4 x 8 meters box that contains a swing in the center, and the inside is covered in mirrors on all sides, creating infinite versions of yourself as you merrily swing away the time.

The external is also mirrored to reflect the scenery of the room it is housed in, whilst also providing solitude for those inside the box.

This is an innovative and fascinating piece of art, and we hope that it comes to the UK one day.
