스위스의 프레몽트레 수도원에는

아주 흥미로운 자동차 폐연료로 만들어진 2개의 풀이 있다.

그 풀 위에는 수도원 내부의 아치형태의 천정 장식이 마치

유리면처럼 잔잔한 반향을 일으킨다.

물의 반향과는 또 다른 은은한 밝기는 보는 사람들에게 깊은

인상을 준다.

Inside Switzerland’s Bellelay Abbey, two intriguing pools of recycled motor oil create serene, unbroken reflections of soaring architecture. The chapel’s ornately decorated arches and vaulted ceilings are mirrored in vivid detail on the oil’s rich, glassy surface. Unlike reflections in water, the oil pool minimizes glare and lets viewers gaze deeply into the images.

The addition of the oil pools to the chapel is interesting because it contrasts light and dark in a striking juxtaposition. The oil’s shimmering black surface boldly complements the chapel’s pristine, white-washed walls. The pools were added to the church as part of an art installation by Swiss artist Romain Crelier in 2013. Along with creating a feeling of augmented spaciousness, the reflection pool offers another serene element that inspires introspection.
