bâtiment’ by argentinian artist leandro erlich is a large-scale installation consisting of a mock-up building façade turned on its side and a multi-storey mirror. exhibiting as a part of le centquatre‘s group show ‘in_perception’ in paris, france, the piece allows visitors to view themselves in a gravity-defying illusion where they are hanging off the elevation of a four-level house. the work aims to challenge and skew the viewer’s comprehension of reality by using mundane elements of urban life that have slipped into the unconscious of the public.
