art installation

Site-specific creative work

An art installation is a three-dimensional work designed to transform or occupy a specific space, often immersing viewers within it rather than hanging on a wall.

Installations may incorporate sculpture, video, sound, light, or found objects, and are frequently site-specific—created for a particular gallery, public space, or landscape: The museum's latest art installation fills the entire atrium with suspended mirrors.
