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)
