The exhibit, which measures at 19.5 meters squared and approximately 2.5 meters tall, consists of an inner room covered in obtusely angled, [mirrored facets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zigzag-collection), reflecting those that enter into virtually infinite combinations. Looking at oneself from inside TAUMASCOPIO provides "a way out of reality's forms and perspectives," according to the installation's creator, French-Italian architect Mattia Paco Rizzi. Beyond entering the exhibit, though, passersby can look into it from gaps in the two transverse ends, creating even more perspectives that the fragmentary view from within. TAUMASCOPIO is also [mirrored across its exterior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flowers-and-butterflies-are-dancing), reflecting the surrounding environment of Zingst and the sky above. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 7% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## 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 - **Mirror Installations:** Creating immersive visual experiences through the use of mirrors and kaleidoscopes. - **Infinite Reflections:** Exploring the concept of infinite perspectives and reflections through mirrored structures. - **Escape From Reality:** Providing a unique and captivating way for individuals to experience a different perspective and escape from reality's forms. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art Installations:** Creating innovative and interactive art installations that engage and captivate viewers. - **Architectural Design:** Incorporating mirrored elements into architectural designs to enhance visual effects and create unique experiences. - **Tourism and Travel:** Designing and implementing captivating attractions and installations that draw visitors and enhance the tourism experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Optical Illusion Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hooptical.md) - [Reflective Material Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mirroring-dialogue.md) - [Wonderous Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/your-psychoacoustic-light-ensemble.md) - [Travel-Themed Fractured Mirrors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baggage-claim-mirrors.md) - [Artfully Rotating Glass Pillars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panorama.md) - [Optical Illusion Replica Artworks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liberty-science-center.md) - [Juxtaposing Digital Art Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/riflessi.md) - [Mirrored Sculpture Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sabine-marcelis-1.md) - [Artful Custom Mirror Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portraits-collection.md)
