The New York artist is known for creating [three-dimensional illusions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reframe-installation) by way of tape, and he has done so again for this solo production. Geometric strips of yellow, blue and red tape have been placed on top of doors for Vantage. Viewers thus appear much like they are entering [alternate dimensions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-flow) when stepping through the openings which resemble portals. Where doors are not present, Nihalani has also used adhesive to create [angular shapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/soft-world-sharp-edges), jutting out at the sides in varying rectangular and square shapes. The entire display will be open until May 17th, providing ample time for travelers and locals to check out the space. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 91% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Modern](https://www.trendhunter.com/modern) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **3D Tape Art:** Opportunity for artists to experiment with an affordable and versatile medium - **Illusion Installations:** Potential for architects and designers to experiment with creating immersive spaces - **Alternative Dimension Design:** Opportunity for creating unique experiences in themed attractions or escape rooms ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art Galleries:** Opportunity to showcase and promote innovative and affordable art installations - **Architecture:** Opportunity to experiment with creating immersive and visually striking spaces - **Entertainment:** Opportunity for creating unique experiences in themed attractions or escape rooms ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mirrored Hall Visual Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/internamente.md) - [Optical Illusion Replica Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liberty-science-center.md) - [Warped Acrylic Bar Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/awt-bar.md) - [Warped Georgian Townhouse Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-week-at-the-knees.md) - [Colorful Texture Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorscape-installation.md) - [Three-Dimensional Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-doubt-your-eyes.md) - [Swirled Public Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tunnel-vision-installation.md) - [Collaborative 3D Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reframe-installation.md) - [Paper-Made Mosaic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-life-architecture-exhibition.md)
