Infinity Field Bangkok, TH 2020
Commissioned by Siam Piwat

Set on the seventh-floor plaza of ICONSIAM along the Chao Phraya River in Bangkok, Infinity Field occupies the space between reflecting pools and the main entrance, forming a porous threshold within the plaza. The installation offers visitors a place to pause, wander, or pass through as reflections multiply and dissolve around them.

Infinity Field is composed of fifty diamond-shaped mirrored chambers arranged in a loose, forest-like configuration that follows the tile pattern of the plaza below. Their placement and reflective surfaces create shifting alignments of sky, water, architecture, and passing bodies. From the perimeter, the field reads as dense and layered; from within, it becomes immersive and disorienting, encouraging slower movement and exploration.

During the day, reflections of the Bangkok skyline, river, and plaza interlace with visitors’ own images. As mirrors face one another, repeated reflections produce a mise en abyme, generating an ever-changing sense of infinite depth where perspective collapses and reassembles with each step.

At night, the installation shifts character as the chambers are illuminated from within by LEDs responding to ambient sound. Clad in one-way mirrored glass, the chambers invert from reflective surfaces into luminous columns of light, transforming the mirrored forest into a glowing field. Subtle lighting waves evoke the movement of the river below, while sound triggers pulses that ripple through the installation.

As darkness falls, the repetition of the chambers and the reflected skyline creates the sensation of moving through the city at an altered scale. Within Infinity Field, sound, reflection, and motion merge into an immersive environment where object, visitor, and city continuously fold into one another.
