visitors to the grassy retreat of hyde park in sydney will find themselves immersed within a labyrinth maze of mirrors, reflecting the surrounding urban landscape like a kaleidoscope. auckland-based studio out of the dark has sent designboom images of ‘field’: their multifaceted installation comprised of 81 mirrored pillars set throughout a 25 square meter plane. the 2.4m tall posts are arranged in a grid around the park, and the rows and rows that make up the 324 mirror faces refract the constantly changing scenes of the trees, grass, and sky surrounding them. ‘field’ is one of five major projects part of the 2013 sydney art and about festival, and will be situated in the park until october 20th.
