Instagram users capture Desert X installations in California's Coachella Valley



The inaugural Desert X art festival is underway in Southern California, where visitors are using Instagram to share images of installations including an entirely mirrored cabin and a seemingly infinite tunnel into the earth.
The new art festival is taking place in the desert of the Coachella Valley, which hosts one of the world's largest music festivals each year.
Desert X includes 16 projects dotted around the valley, created by local and international artists.
The arid landscape forms a photogenic backdrop for the installations, and Instagram users have been taken advantage since the event opened on 25 February 2017.
Here is a selection of the best artworks, most of which are on view until 30 April 2017:

The Circle of Land and Sky by Phillip K Smith III
American artist Phillip K Smith III has used mirrored poles to reflect the desert landscape.
The installation is similar to his Quarter Mile Arc at Laguna Beach last December, but here the reflective posts are arranged in a ring and angled slightly outward to create a different effect.

Mirage by Doug Aitken
Also employing mirrors, American artist Doug Aitken has built a small house-shaped structure entirely out of shiny surfaces.
The camouflaged building is modelled on a ranch-style suburban home, and produces kaleidoscopic images inside.
