Distorted Experience Installations

BMW Collaborated with Barber & Osgerby to Create a Piece of Art

Barber & Osgerby collaborated with BMW to create an installation that plays with the senses and challenges one's perception of the immediate surrounding space. The piece was put on for the London Design Festival of 2014 in Victoria and Albert Museum.

"The reflections of the monumental Raphael cartoons generate a distorted experience over a floor space of 600 square meters," according to DesignBoom. It's this distortion of the space and what one sees which makes the installation so intriguing. It looks like large curved mirrors have also been placed on the ceiling to add to the distorted effect, which pick up the reflection of those below, as well as the paintings placed on the walls.
