About House of Dream Art public

« House of Dream » est une sculpture d'art public installée à Shenzhen, en Chine. Réalisée en acier inoxydable, avec un éclairage LED et des panneaux de polycarbonate dotés d'un miroir sans tain, elle mesure 320 centimètres de large, 120 centimètres de profondeur et 400 centimètres de hauteur. Le jour, la surface réfléchissante reflète l'environnement alentour. La nuit, la lumière changeante compose un espace tourné vers l'intérieur. Les visiteurs interagissent avec l'œuvre et en modifient les effets lumineux. La sculpture répond à l'uniformité d'apparence de nombreux immeubles résidentiels neufs et fait resurgir les souvenirs du foyer.
