Mike Nelson (1967–)

Mirror Infill (2006) @ Frieze Art Fair (London, UK)

This installation gave the uncanny sensation of having accidentally stepped through an unseen gateway into another world — one that had suddenly materialised in an otherwise ordinary alley.

Though I knew I was in an exhibition space, it felt as if I had slipped into an invisible gap in time — trapped in a strange, parallel dimension from which there was no easy escape.

The experience brought to mind the unsettling atmosphere of a Stephen King novel — as if I had found myself inside a hidden world existing alongside our own.

Mirror Infill (2006) @ Frieze Art Fair (London, UK)

何の変哲もない路地に、突如として現れた「異界への入り口」に誤って踏み込んでしまったような違和感に襲われるインスタレーション。

展示空間にいるはずなのに、まるで時空の狭間に存在する目に見えないズレに足を滑らせ、はまり込んでしまい、抜け出せない──そんな奇妙な不安感に包まれる。

まるでスティーブン・キングの小説に出てくる、現実世界と並行して存在する異世界を体験しているかのような強い印象を受けた。
