" What is behind the mirror "
Always with an image of lightness, astonishing and coolness, W hotel has been conceived for young people who enjoy life and party. Though, I have proposed to Mamhut and Selim from GEOMIM a kind of interactive installation for the
entrance hall : The goal is that this hall way seems dark when you come inside it, with dome kind of light leak on the ceiling and the floor ; not only dark but also mysterious by its hyper glossy feeling.
Then, as soon you walk in this hallway, your penetrate between the "walls", these one turns all together, both side together, exactly coordinated, unexpected, and make discovered strong light coming from two screens hidden behind them. These screens diffuse films, either natural images either music clips, either inside of Turkish iconic land mark spaces. This light will attract the pedestrian, and surprise him/her, but will disappear when the triangle will close again. Each of the 3 sides of the triangle have a different treatment, meaning that the two walls could be either simply white, either mirrored, silver or dark mirror, either iridescent treatment/crystals. The walls are never mixed texture ; they are all the same, on each side.
The duration of the turning movement revealing the screens/images and light (when they turn the all corridor will be over lighted) is slow, as 10/15 seconds to open and close again. The directions of the turn of the mirror are the one from the pedestrian coming to the hotel or out of the hotel. When two person cross, it is the first one which is the most important, creating possibly two directions opposite on the two spaces.
