Mirrors. Whoa.

Yes you are in the matrix and real­ity IS break­ing, but let’s focus on this art instal­la­tion: One of the amaz­ing qual­i­ties of this cre­ation is that all of the sur­faces are mir­rors, even those that are not fac­ing the outside/inside.

In the first pic­ture above, half of the tiles in the mid­dle of the object depict a build­ing and the other half are quite hard to dis­cern. The tiles that reflect a build­ing show the build­ing that is warped, mean­ing that they are reflec­tions of the build­ing in mir­rors that are not flat. The other sec­tions allow you to see through the near side of the object, pro­vid­ing vis­i­bil­ity to both the far back­ground as well as mir­rors on the other side. This is why these other sec­tions are hard to discern.

Here is the sec­ond pic­ture with lines drawn at the bor­ders to make sense of the indi­vid­ual mirrors:
