The work of Dutch graphic artist MC Escher has influenced all designers, says Oki Sato in this exclusive video produced by Dezeen.
Sato and his design studio Nendo was commissioned by the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne, Australia to design an exhibition Escher's work which opened last month.
Sato told Dezeen that the main theme of Escher's work is about the middle ground "between the possible and the impossible". The exhibition features 157 prints and drawings by Escher as well as installations by Nendo
Nendo designed the immersive exhibition drawing on the impossible geometries and optical illusions present in Escher's work.
"Usually an exhibition designer is designing a stage for the artwork," said Sato.
"This time I had to design the stage and I had to be on the stage as well."
