The spectacular exhibition design, consisting of 360,000 plastic fronds, landscaped across the ceiling

The best thing about the exhibition though is Yoshioka’s design of the space itself. To get visitors into a futuristic mindset, he strung some 360,000 plastic strands from the ceiling, computer programmed to a certain length and low lit, giving the effect of a manmade cloud.

“Vides” (Voids) is a retrospective of empty exhibitions since that of Yves Klein in 1958. In almost a dozen rooms of the National Museum of Modern Art, it assembles in a totally original manner exhibitions that showed absolutely nothing, leaving empty the space for which they were designed.

LOL walk-in cocktail:
...equipped with plastic jumpsuits and encouraged to “breathe responsibly” before stepping into an alcoholic fog for up to 40 minutes – long enough to inhale “a fairly strong drink,”

too bad that cocktail up there is a g&t and not something better. also, one drink over 40 minutes? i want my money back!!

Light 2007
The stars design are hanging lights which diffuse a soft light. Used on their own, they produce luminous reference lights and can be used as side light or as night light. At different heights or in a group, they create a network of constellations which structures the space and gives it a new dimension. One can have the luxury of a night under the stars.
