The Kaleidos art installation continues at Bvlgari Hotel Tokyo
At Bvlgari Hotel Tokyo, artist Akiko Nakayama presents a special video installation inside the hotel’s elevators. Known for her Alive Painting technique, combining water, mineral pigments, and sound vibrations to create constantly evolving visuals, Nakayama transforms the elevator into a dynamic, sky-inspired art space. The elevators becomes a “suspended museum,” offering four video pieces themed around the sky:
- Timepiece – Painting time with a brush
- Pulsation of the Stars – Magnetic fluid animates starlight
- Spaceship – A bubble-like spaceship soars through a vivid galaxy
- Breaking the Night Sky – Sunlight bursts through darkness on a ceiling canvas
Bvlgari Hotel Tokyo invites guests to look upward in the elevator and immerse themselves in the flowing colors and expressions of the ever-changing sky. This installation forms part of a broader artistic dialogue, echoing the spirit of the exhibition “Bvlgari Kaleidos: Colors, Cultures, and Crafts” currently on view at the National Art Center, Tokyo (NACT)
