About Heart Maze Kunstinstallaties

Dit is een kunstinstallatie in een kunstatelier, een doolhofinstallatie gerelateerd aan het hart. Het ziet er ogenschijnlijk uit als een tentoonstelling voor een liefdadigheidsjuwelenevenement, met een contrasterend zwart en rood ontwerp dat ten volle profiteert van de visuele impact van gespiegelde oppervlakken en gekleurd transparant acryl. Maar in werkelijkheid was het een zorgvuldig samengesteld voorstel. Het betekent dat liefde is als wandelen in een doolhof, op zoek naar iets, je moet de juiste persoon op het juiste moment vinden en de juiste route (antwoord) vinden om de uiteindelijke uitgang te bereiken. En er is maar één exit-lover.

Unique Properties: This is an art installation in art workshop, a labyrinth installation related to "heart". It ostensibly looks like an exhibition for a charity jewelry event, and all the guests need to walk through the maze alone before entering the exhibition in the final enclosed space. But in reality, it was a well-planned proposal. The correct route of the labyrinth is the initials "HZ" of the couple's name. After finding the answer to the maze, the heroine has reached the end-being formally proposed.
Dimensions & Packaging: The device has a total length of 14000mm, a width of 7000mm and a height of 3000mm. The second half is a closed space, a box with a width of 7000mm and a length of 4000mm, and the words MARRYME with a height of 1000mm and cold fireworks are placed.

Production Technology: The main materials of the labyrinth device are acrylic and mirror. The main structure and obstacles of the maze are composed of highly consistent acrylic sheets, some are transparent, some are red, and some are used to set the interference path of the maze. Transparent acrylic sheets may not work. The overall transparency of the installation has the advantage of being able to see the final enclosed space. In addition, a 10-meter-long mirror is set on the left side of the device, and another maze is projected in the mirror to expand the visual level and effect of the maze.
Design Challenge: The idea of the labyrinth and charity jewelry show is very unique. The concept of charity jewelry exhibition is very meaningful, it is a metaphor that the two of them are treasures to each other, and everyone participating in the event is a rare treasure in their small world.
For the challenge, the mirror surface of the maze and acrylic are widely used. The acrylic is set in two colors: transparent and red. The transparent color is responsible for "setting obstacles", and the correct route is set in the style of "HZ". Setting up the maze path took considerable effort.
Research: This installation mainly explores the proposition of finding the right answer. The maze represents various unpredictable paths in life. We cannot observe and decide from the perspective of God. We can only find the correct answer through continuous trial and error. That is the exit of the maze. And people are the same, looking for the right person and finding the best way to get along, no matter love, family or friendship, we all need to successfully pass through the maze alone. The concept of the jewelry fair is also to emphasize that we and the people around us are the real treasures.
Inspiration: I think a good proposal must be surprising and meaningful. The form of the maze is very novel and surprising, and it is not easy to arouse suspicion; and the deep meaning behind the maze is the design expression that I want to do. The relationship and combination between lovers are like walking through a maze to find answers, either individually or together. The right love, the right person, and finding the right way to get along with each other and answer are the only way to get to marriage.
Project Duration: The installation will be confirmed in early March 2021, and the design plan and construction drawing model will be produced from April 1-8, 2021. Beijing successfully completed the exhibition and successfully held the event.
Operation Flow: All the guests who come to the charity jewelry exhibition need to walk through a maze alone. They enter the maze first, so the advantage is that they can enter the final area in advance, and letting the heroine walk the maze alone can ensure the preservation of video data.
The correct exit from the maze is a red double door. It reads: "If you are thinking of someone at the moment, then please open this door". The on-site staff used a voice changer to converse with the heroine, ensuring she was convinced of the art exhibit. At the last moment of success, there are cold fireworks to set off the final climax.
