Tree Game/Toy in Seven Mirrored Images 1974

Alberto Carneiro's "Tree Game/Toy in Seven Mirrored Images" (1974) is a site-specific installation that explores the relationship between nature and human intervention. A series of mirrored panels, suspended on bamboo frames, are arranged in a semi-circle, reflecting the surrounding environment. The viewer is drawn into the interplay of light and shadow, as the mirrored surfaces distort and fragment the space. The installation's title suggests a playful interaction, but also hints at the delicate balance between the natural and the constructed world.
