That's different.
From the website:

The light sculpture Forms in Nature is partly inspired by Ernst Haeckel's (1834-1919) detailed plots from nature and is a further development of Hilden & Diaz's fascination with mirrors, as they have previously applied them in other artworks.
Using a simple action — intensifying the brightness at the center of the artwork — the light transforms the space and adds character, as the work throws oversized shadows onto walls and ceilings in the space in which it hangs.
The light source is surrounded by a dense and unruly tree and root system created in miniature.
The forest is mirrored around its horizontal central axis and forms a 360° circle around the light
source and thereby leads one to the notion of a real world versus an underworld.
Interestingly, the roots are those elements of the forest that are the most visible.
As the intensity of the light source increases, the room changes and the space slowly becomes more fascinating.
The shadows engulf the room and transform the walls into unruly shadows of branches, bushes and gnarled trees.
Mirrorings are thrown out upon the walls and ceilings and provide weak Rorschach-like hints of faces.
Dimming the lights transforms the installation and one senses a weak fire burning deep in the center of the forest.•••••••••••••••••••••
