About Illusion Hole

Illusion Hole is the sixth artwork in the ‘Use Your Illusion’ series by UxU Studio. This series, which utilizes meteor lights, was born from the studio's curiosity about how visitors experience the dynamic movement of light. UxU Studio believes that light, while not a physical substance, can be shaped and transformed into something meaningful, creating new interpretations and perceptions.

In Illusion Hole, light is arranged in a precise geometric pattern, creating the mesmerizing illusion of water flowing into a mysterious, unknown black hole. As we observe this captivating display, UxU Studio prompts us to question our perceptions: Are we truly aware of the existence of the water beneath the light, or do we accept the illusion as reality, blurring the lines between what is real and what is false? This thought-provoking installation challenges our understanding of reality, encouraging us to explore the boundaries between truth and illusion.
