Depth by Regina Silveira
Anyone entering this surreal space by Brazilian artist Regina Silveira feels as if they could drop through the seemingly non-existent floor at any moment. Entitled ‘Depth’, the installation in Lodz, Poland multiplies a series of black and white windows so that they seem to descend story after story into the ground.
