About House of Dream Openbare Kuns

Droomhuis is 'n openbare kunsbeeld wat in Shenzhen, China, geïnstalleer is. Die beeldhouwerk is gemaak van vlekvrye staal, LED-beligting en PC-plaat met 'n eenrigting-spieël, en dit meet 320 sentimeter breed, 120 sentimeter diep en 400 sentimeter hoog. Gedurende die dag weerkaats die reflekterende oppervlak die omliggende omgewing. Snags vorm die veranderende lig 'n binneruimte. Besoekers werk in wisselwerking met die kunswerk en verander die beligtingseffekte. Die beeldhouwerk reageer op die soortgelyke voorkoms van baie nuwe residensiële geboue en roep herinneringe aan die huis op.
