Mirage Gstaad, a mirrored house in the Swiss Alps Doug Aitken's installation is a sensory experience that blurs the lines between building and landscape
Following the Palm Springs desert and the spaces of a former bank in Detroit, Michigan, Doug Aitken went to the Swiss Alps to explore the interaction between man and the environment. Gstaad, the popular holiday destination of the international elite in Canton Bern, is the place that hosts and gives its name to the artist's latest installation: Mirage Gstaad. Launched on the occasion of the third edition of the art exhibition Frequencies - Elevation 1049, curated by Neville Wakefield and Olympia Scarry, the work is simply a house covered with ALUCOBOND® naturAL Reflect panels.
Mirage Gstaad is a temporary site-specific installation and will be open until January 2021, including interiors, which are also mirrored. The entrance? It is totally free.
