Contemporary American artist Doug Aitken takes his mirrored installation to the Swiss Alps. Months after his Mirage Detroit installation, Mirage Gstaad follows suit in presenting a suburban house that sees mirrors on every-single surface of the structure.

Located in Videmanette in Gstaad, the mirror-clad house reflects the snowy terrain of the area, and when viewed from afar, the house appears to disappear from reality. The installation will be present until January 2021, and directions to getting to it can be found here. For those that cannot see Mirage Gstaad in person, a 24-hour webcam has been set up for viewing purposes.
