Distorting mirrors frame a secret garden in Santiago's Parque Araucan

Chilean architects Guillermo Hevia García and Nicolás Urzúa have created a concealed garden fenced in by distorting mirrors for the Santiago edition of MoMA's Young Architects Program

Named Your Reflection, the installation invites visitors to the city's Parque Araucano to step into an enclosure where they will discover infinite reflections of grassy hillocks, shallow pools of water and wild flowers. Inside, the immediate surroundings are completely concealed to them – apart from high-rise buildings and overhead tree branches – and they are likely to encounter someone playing a piano, or other kinds of musical performers.
Guillermo Hevia García and Nicolás Urzúa were selected from a shortlist of five teams to create the installation for the 2015 edition of Constructo, one of the four international offshoots of the MoMA Young Architects Program (YAP) contest.
