Amazing artists from around the world made incredible & strange art installations like the Rain Room or the Infinity Mirrored Room Subscribe to Talltanic http://goo.gl/wgfvrr 6. The Falling Garden This little thing is the result of Swiss artists Gerda Steiner and Jorg Lenzlinger. The installation is essentially a garden that is filled with roses and other plants that look like they're falling from the ceiling. The room also features a bed that you can lay down so that you can get the full effect of the experience. The result is an all-encompassing transportation to an entirely different time. The building that the garden is held in is a 17th-century church that was built to hold the tomb of a duke. The entire room is also done up in fancy Italian marble to lend even more to the effect of being traveled back in time. This one is a must-see not just for art fans but also for botanist enthusiasts everywhere. 5. Chair Building Is this weird? Yes, yes it is but so are a lot of the items on this list. This installation was the brainchild of Doris Salcedo in Istanbul. The name is pretty self-explanatory, "1550 Chairs Stacked Between Two City Buildings." Don't you just love it when artists get to the point? This piece has more than one purpose. The first chairs that were added in 2002 were to pay homage to a failed guerrilla coup that happened 17 years ago in that spot. There were only 280 that were put there first to commemorate the deaths. The artist came back in 2003, however, so that she could add the final chairs, this time to celebrate faceless migrants who underpin our global economy. Whatever the reason for the piece, there is no denying that it is one of the weirdest art installations in the world. 4. The Floating Piers Although this art installation lasted for only for less than a month from June 18th, 2016 to July 3, 2016, it was hugely popular and made significant waves. The installation is 100,000 square meters of fabric that created a walking surface between Sulzano to Monte Isola islands in Brescia, Italy. The installation has been a passion project of artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude since 1970. In the end, the project wasn't put into action until 2013 by Christo when his partner, Jeanne-Claude, died. The project was estimated to take $11 million to be able to build, but it ended up costing about $17 million. The cost of the project was entirely paid for by Christo, and it took over 600 workers to be able to do. In the end, the free exhibition ended up attracting about 1.2 million people or 72,000 people a day. 3. Mark Jenkins There isn't one piece that we want to spotlight here. This American artist that specializes in installations has pretty incredible work no matter which one you are looking at. Because the unsuspecting public sees most of his work, his art is often hunted by law enforcement. His work usually conveys different messages, from the controversial to the humorous but a running theme in his work is the dehumanization of the homeless. Currently, he lives and works in Washington, DC. Jenkins also enjoys teaching as much as he can which includes doing masterclasses, youtube videos, and workshops. 2. Branchwork This installation is the work of artist Patrick Dougherty that has become famous for doing massive sculptures out of twigs and branches. The level of construction is nothing to be scoffed at, a lot of the sculptures are large enough for people to walk through. His work has become famous because of the unique ingenuity that it took for him to make it and the lack of anything else like it in the world. This artist is one that is well-worth looking into. 1.The Infinity Mirrored Room This piece is sure to freak everyone out just a little bit. The room was the work of an artist by the name of Yayoi Kusama, and it is essentially a mirror-lined room that features hundreds of LED lights across the chamber. The idea may sound simple, but the result is anything but. The room aids the effect also because the floor is a little flooded with water to add more reflection to the party. If you want to see this piece of art, you better do it now, though. Although the exhibit will be in place until October 2017, capacity is limited because only one visitor is allowed in the room at a time and only for about a minute. This piece is one that you'll need a reservation to see in person. This room is the closest that anyone will likely get to space, though.
