Folly of Narcissim







A follie inspired by an English Garden that is full of sensation.

This follie has the ability to produce the sensations of anticipation and pleasure. When you arrive at the entrance of the building you are presented with two options either venturing upwards (self) or exploring the underground portion (other). Either path creates anticipation because you are entering the unknown. However, once you are in either cavity you are overwhelmed by pleasure. In the top cavity you become flooded with light piercing through the glass tips, and you can eventually find yourself in a room full of fur. Underground, the room is completely covered by soft fur, which one can rub against or throw themselves on. The ground on this site is porous and acts as a “flexible window”.
