Space exists only when human organs perceive it. This is the opinion of the artists Olafur Eliasson and Ma Yansong. And to illustrate that thought, they created an unusual display, Feelings are facts, for an exhibition in Beijing.
This exposition is a huge room filled with fog, illuminated by rays of various colors. The main goal of this unusual exhibit at the exhibition is to make the person inside, get rid of the usual perception of the world and teach him to perceive the surrounding space in a different way.
For example, we are used to evaluating the space around us according to certain criteria dictated by our senses. But inside Feelings are facts, all these criteria, to which we have become accustomed all our lives, do not work. There is only fog and light here.
Therefore, visitors need to quickly learn to perceive the world in a new way on the spot, for example, to take for spatial reference points not some visible solid objects, but a color that has no shape, sounds coming from different sides, random silhouettes of people who also walk through this exposition.
Separately, it must be said about the floor. In order to further disorient people who have fallen into Feelings are facts, it constantly changes its plane: it looks to the left or to the right, then it deepens, then it becomes convex.
A person, once inside the Feelings are facts exposition, at first experiences stress from a sharp change in spatial landmarks, but then, having learned to exist according to the rules proposed by the artists, he gets pleasure from it, a thrill. After all, not every day you have to find yourself in a completely unknown, unusual space in which the rules of the world we are accustomed to do not work.
