Leeum Black Box Lounge
Walkable Artwork
The Leeum Black Box Lounge is an installation by artist Tobias Rehberger at the Leeum Samsung Museum of Art in Seoul, South Korea.
Bastian Wibranek and David Behrens were commissioned to develop an algorithm for the patterns and their application to the space and furniture.
The Patterns
The interior of the room is designed to be a disorienting and immersive experience for visitors. The walls are covered in a series of black-and-white as well as cyan-and-magenta geometric patterns that appear to shift and change as the viewer moves around the space. The patterns are created using a technique called trompe l'oeil, which uses optical illusions to create the illusion of three-dimensionality.
