# Vividly Poetic Installations Alex da Corte Reinterprets Arthur Rimbaud's 'A Season in Hell' By Vasiliki Marapas | Published 2014-12-17 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Alex-da-cortes References: [coolhunting](http://www.coolhunting.com/culture/alex-da-cortes-delirium-i-exhibition.php) & [alexdacorte](http://alexdacorte.com/) New Jersey-born, Venezuela-raised artist Alex da Corte is introducing his latest show, 'Delerium I,' at the David Risley Gallery in Copenhagen. The [stunning installation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multimedia-art-installation) is based on 'A Season in Hell,' a poem written by prolific French poet Arthur Rimbaud who, for some curious reason, only wrote during his teen years. The poem details Rimbaud's turbulent affair with Paul Verlaine, which happened when he was only 18 years old. Corte's installation is the fifth project in an [on-going series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rhinoceros-gallery1) about this specific Rimbaud poem. The project certainly lives up to its name: the set is an overwhelming mess of [plastic tiles, sculptures, photographs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorscape-installation) and perfumes. It is, perhaps, in direct reference to RImbaud's final line in 'A Season in Hell,' which translates to a "strange household." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 1% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Poetic Installations:** Creating installations that evoke poetry in their design. - **Literary-inspired Art:** Integrating literature as inspiration for art installations. - **Multi-sensory Art:** Incorporating scents and tactile elements into art installations for a more immersive experience. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art Galleries:** Art galleries can showcase installations that integrate poetry and immersive elements. - **Literary Events:** Organizing literary events featuring art installations inspired by famous works of literature. - **Museums:** Museums can curate exhibits that feature installations with multi-sensory elements to enhance the visitor's experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Surreal Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeffrey-deitch-art-gallery.md) - [Immersive Multi-Sensory Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multisensory-exhibition.md) - [Immersive Light Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/psychoacoustic-light-ensemble.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [Surrealist Pop-Up Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surrealist-popup.md) - [Psychedelic Sculptural Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frank-stella-recent-sculpture.md) - [Lightning-Inspired Artful Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bright-light-shining.md) - [Immersive Light Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spencer-finch.md) - [Abstract Geometric Solo Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/impermanent-state-of-being.md)
