Psychedelic art has become an essential component in the music festival experiences, such as in this year’s Sziget summer music festival, which featured the Mirage Pavilion, a mind-bending installation of mirrors. Designed by Studio Nomad, the Mirage Pavilion consists of a chequered band of mirrors that winds through the trees and creates a visual distortion that splices reflected images into the woodland environment. The temporary installation was exhibited in August on the forested island of Hajógyári in the Danube River.

Studio Nomad won a design competition to design and create the temporary Mirage Pavilion.
