Discover the meaning of installation in art and how it transforms environments through immersive, site-specific designs. What does installation mean in art? The definition refers to a three-dimensional artistic practice designed to transform how a space is experienced. In art, installation involves multiple elements such as sculpture, painting, lighting, and found objects, all working together to create an immersive environment. My approach to installation art is to connect custom pieces, like murals or sculptural forms — with the physical structure of the space. This means walls, floors, and architectural features aren’t just backdrops, but active parts of the artwork itself. See an Example Here.
