Everything is cool. You’re not still drunk from last night. No, you’re not losing your shit – the rooms here really do look like they are melting. You’re fine. Relax.

‘Le Cercle Fermé’ is a surreal art installation by Martine Feipel & Jean Bechameil which took place at 2011 Venice Biennale. The concept of space is central to all Feipel & Bechameil’s work, and this installation was no exception. ‘Le Cercle Fermé’ (The Closed Circle) proposed a new type of space while going beyond the physiological limits of our perception. I love the way this this work seduces and gently steers reality in a new direction. A perfect recipe for loosening and expanding the mind. Just what the doctor ordered for this curious and trippy little designer.
