For his latest installation, artist Carsten Hรถller assembled an ensemble of metallic architectural slides to connect different parts of a hotel, shopping and business campus in Mexico City’s posh Palanco bureau. This is Hรถller’s most ambitious and largest construction yet, having had a temporary slide at the Tate Modern, designed to shunt visitors (see also) as messages through a series of pneumatic tubes, inspiring both terror and delight as they cross into adjacent buildings and are ejected at their destination. Other projects include carousels and exhibitions reflective of his original studies in entomology and mycology. More from Dezeen at the link up top.
