Using [mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mirroring-dialogue) to create his [optical illusion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hooptical), Erlich encourages his viewers to scale the building while jumping from window to window -- just as Spider-Man himself would. Don’t worry though, all this is done while on the ground. If you are itching to make your dreams come true, Erlich’s 'Batiment' [installation will be featured](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fourth-wall) until the end of March at Le 104 in Paris as part of their 'Perceptions' Exhibition. The concept itself is a clever idea, and as you can see from the photos above, viewers seem to have a lot of fun by creating amusing scenarios. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 83% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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's Driving This Trend - **Optical Illusion Art:** Creating installations that use mirrors to trick the viewer's perception, providing immersive and interactive experiences. - **Adventure-based Installations:** Designing installations that allow viewers to engage in thrilling and imaginative experiences, like scaling buildings or becoming superheroes. - **Interactive Art Exhibitions:** Organizing exhibitions that incorporate interactive and participatory elements, encouraging viewers to be active participants in the artwork. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Design:** Incorporating innovative techniques and technologies into art installations to create unique and captivating experiences for viewers. - **Entertainment and Events:** Integrating immersive and adventure-based installations into entertainment venues and event spaces to attract and engage audiences. - **Tourism and Hospitality:** Creating interactive art experiences as tourist attractions or adding them to hotels and resorts to enhance the guest experience and differentiate the offerings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Warped Georgian Townhouse Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-week-at-the-knees.md) - [Three-Dimensional Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3d-doubt-your-eyes.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [Wonderous Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-psychoacoustic-light-ensemble.md) - [Inflatable Vibrant Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-dancer.md) - [Dynamic Immersive Play Museums](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superpower-studios-initiative.md) - [Mirrored Hall Visual Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/internamente.md) - [Eclipse-Themed Rooftop Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arc-zero.md) - [Performance-Driven Public Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fourth-wall.md)
