The process is visible and the output is visual, but the experience feels physical. He has described the way he creates, and that is through the feeling of already being there, vibrating on that frequency. To put it simply, the artist and creative is mapping out the inner states and our body\u2019s consciousness and translating them visually.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1184771 size-full lazyload\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"marius troy imagined installations\" width=\"818\" height=\"1023\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/communities-lights-colors-imagined-landscape-art-installations-marius-troy-designboom-01.jpg\"  data- loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>Polychrome | all images courtesy of Marius Troy<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Artworks as response to human disconnections<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/mariustroy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">artist<\/a> and creative has built platforms, led large-scale installations, worked with Dior, Nike, and Oakley and has lived in Los Angeles, New York, Berlin, and Oslo. He has also taught at art schools for nearly a decade, and coaches over a hundred creatives through the specific set of conditions that define the contemporary working life: disconnection, decision paralysis, pace that can\u2019t be sustained. He knows these conditions from the inside, he says, and his practice, including the imagined installations he has been releasing through his Midjourney Sessions series, is a direct response to them, as seen even in Polychrome.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In this imagined art installation, Marius Troy designs a vast canopy of fabric in horizontal bands of color \u2013 violet at the outer edges, moving through deep red, through coral, through orange, through yellow, to near-white at the center \u2013 and these fabric-like structure is suspended from the roof of a spacious building, either a museum hall or a transit platform, and lit from within or below so the floor becomes a mirror and the color doubles downward. The people beneath the sculptural walk languidly walk, perhaps choosing to enjoy the atmosphere instead of rushing.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1184772 size-full lazyload\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"marius troy imagined installations\" width=\"818\" height=\"1023\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/communities-lights-colors-imagined-landscape-art-installations-marius-troy-designboom-02.jpg\"  data- loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>there\u2019s an atmospheric air surrounding the images Marius Troy generates on Midjourney<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Shelters that gather communities at once<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s another imagined art installation by Marius Troy, and it\u2019s called Elementi. Somehow, it shares the similar design from Polychrome, which is the use of the underground. Here, the floor is sand, and the light is the warm amber of earth-filtered sun. At the center of the space, a circular structure of floor-to-ceiling fabric encircles an oval of light, the shape of a moon or a sun, seen from below, hanging or perhaps drawn down from above. Footprints cross the sand in every direction. When the crowd is shown, they stand\u00a0 where all the fabric converges upward into a single file, the way cloth radiates from the center of a billowing parachute. The artist describes Elementi as an installation that brings the elements into a vast indoor space to calm the nervous system and invite reflection, exploration, and connection, evoking stillness in both the environment and the people within it.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The installation called Soft places a luminous hemisphere inside a Beaux-Arts hall, which resembles the Grand Palais, or an equivalent, over a rectangular pool of water. The dome of fabric hangs from the ceiling and curves downward, stopping just above the water\u2019s surface, and the reflected light ripples across the pool and climbs the stone columns on both sides. People sit on the edge of the pool, silhouetted, facing the light, while others stand at a distance. Marius Troy describes Soft as a contemplation of softness in space and atmospheres, an exploration of what happens physiologically when we occupy a space that doesn\u2019t have weight and friction, metaphorically hinting that while the hemisphere is large, it isn\u2019t heavy; that it glows rather than shines.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1184774 size-full lazyload\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"marius troy imagined installations\" width=\"818\" height=\"1023\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/communities-lights-colors-imagined-landscape-art-installations-marius-troy-designboom-04.jpg\"  data- loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>these installations are realized, as Marius Troy generates them using AI image tools<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>L\u2019Abri Doux, French for the soft shelter, comes next, showing fabric architecture that becomes landscape. In one view, a cylindrical column of vertical threads or fine cords drops from a circular aperture in a vaulted ceiling, lit from within so the threads glow and the base of the column spreads onto a sand floor, where two figures sit in silhouette. In another view, the space is vast, a fabric structure so large it reads as a building, with a rounded arched opening at the center where amber light comes through and dozens of figures sit or lie on the sand floor in small groups. The title names what the space does because it shelters the community it houses, softly and gently.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Entre Deux, or between two, places a sphere the size of a building between the columns of the Panth\u00e9on in Paris, suspended at portal height, lit from within so it glows salmon pink as the city sky behind it fades at dusk. Below it, the crowd gathers. Nobody is passing through, as everyone has stopped. In the second image in this series, the scale drops, where a stone arch on the banks of the Seine frames a small interior: fabric draped from the arch, a pendant lamp at the center, six or seven people sitting on cushioned seating at the base. The Seine is visible through the arch opening, alluding to a room without walls, a shelter without a building, a fire without a fire.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1184773 size-full lazyload\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"marius troy imagined installations\" width=\"818\" height=\"884\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/communities-lights-colors-imagined-landscape-art-installations-marius-troy-designboom-03.jpg\"  data- loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>the artist has described the way he creates, and that is through the feeling of already being there<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What connects these imagined art installations is the same ethos that Marium Troy has been trying to say in every format his career has taken. The systems people live inside, whether that\u2019s the pace, the noise, or the constant digital weather, produce a kind of damage: disconnection from the body, from other people, from the simple fact of being in a room with other humans and nowhere particular to be. His imagined installations are not proposals for public art programs, but he hopes they demonstrate a condition that already exists, just expressed in the language of fabric, light, colors, and a bit of sand, gathering people altogether within speculative tranquil shelters.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1184775 size-full lazyload\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"marius troy imagined installations\" width=\"818\" height=\"1023\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/communities-lights-colors-imagined-landscape-art-installations-marius-troy-designboom-05.jpg\"  data- loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>view of Elementi<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1184776 size-full lazyload\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"marius troy imagined installations\" width=\"818\" height=\"1023\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/communities-lights-colors-imagined-landscape-art-installations-marius-troy-designboom-06.jpg\"  data- loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>the project is an an imagined art installation bringing the elements into a vast indoor space<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Marius troy generates tranquil imagined art installations \u00a0 There\u2019s an atmospheric air surrounding the images of imagined installations&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":377813,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[343,437,434,435,436,438,7795,146,85,46,8998,167725],"class_list":{"0":"post-377812","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arts-and-design","8":"tag-artificial-intelligence","9":"tag-arts","10":"tag-arts-and-design","11":"tag-artsanddesign","12":"tag-artsdesign","13":"tag-design","14":"tag-digital-art","15":"tag-entertainment","16":"tag-il","17":"tag-israel","18":"tag-midjourney","19":"tag-utopia-then-and-now"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/377812","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=377812"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/377812\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/377813"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=377812"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=377812"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=377812"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
