The concept of the installation in the entrance hall, <strong>titled Mirror of Wonders<\/strong>, is inspired by Lewis Carroll&#8217;s novels Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. Like Alice&#8217;s mirror, the work takes the viewer on an imaginary journey into parallel worlds where anything is possible.<\/p>\n<h3>A reflecting mirror: the installation by Fabio Mazzeo Architects<\/h3>\n<p>The installation, characterized by a large mirrored surface, 4.5 meters wide by 4 meters high, consists of self-propelled, multi-shaped glass slabs that reflect the surrounding space from different angles, in a kaleidoscopic way.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-168401 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.designdiffusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/77464-preview_low_4232-15_77464_sc_v2com.jpg\" alt=\"Fabio Mazzeo Architects\" width=\"1000\" height=\"664\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The panel behind the mirror, backlit and covered with gold leaves, highlights the fractures on the surface, making the work dynamic. Reminiscent of a precious Renaissance mirror, the installation harmonizes with the architecture of the building.<\/p>\n<p>The Mirror of Wonders represents a perfect combination of art, architecture and design. It is a bespoke work that also tells the story of the architectural firm that designed it.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-168403\" src=\"http:\/\/www.designdiffusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/77453-preview_low_4232-15_77453_sc_v2com.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1500\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Discover<\/strong> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/designdiffusion.com\/en\/2021\/01\/19\/grow-by-daan-roosegaarde-is-an-installation-that-applies-art-to-agriculture\/\">Grow, an installation that applies art to agriculture<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A mirrored installation creates a backdrop at the entrance to the headquarters of Fabio Mazzeo Architects studio, in a charming 17th-century building The headquarters of Fabio Mazzeo Architects, located in a 17th-century palace at 167 Via Giulia, Rome, welcome guests and visitors with a dramatic reflective installation.
