This infinity mirror maze by Lee Bul is a different kind of maze than any we've ever seen. This maze doesn't try to confuse the people who walk through it with multiple exits or fake turns; what it does try to do though, is force people to confront perspective in an intense way.
Imagine walking through a maze where the entire path was laid out to you. It wouldn't be very fun -- that is unless the maze was filled with mirrors. The ability for the maze to disillusion the people going through it is quite easy as the mirrors bounce off each other again and again creating long tunnels of perspective.
The maze may not lose you as it's only a path, but you will get lost in it simply by looking around.
