Escape from Reality: Abstract Worlds in the Antireality Instagram account

With the help of shapes and colors, the anonymous author of the Antireality Instagram account creates fantastic buildings that exist only in virtual worlds so far.

Imagine that you are leaning out of your bedroom window and discover that you have been hovering over the sea all this time. Moreover, the pink clouds of sunset are closer than ever, they float in through the window. Or wait: maybe it’s not clouds, maybe it’s balloons? It looks more like a Miyazaki movie, but such a picture can be found in Antireality: in this Instagram account, an anonymous author exhibits his graphic works, where the worlds are as familiar as they are abstract.

Each published image is a dialogue between nature and architecture in the form of concise and at the same time jungle-like structures. To obtain such a result, the author initially works in 3D Rhino, modeling variants based on his own drawings and experimenting with shapes and materials, then “renders” in V-Ray and at the last stage of the process works out the atmosphere of visualization in Photoshop.

AD “explored” the architecture of Antireality and dreamed of a fantasy, more perfect world.

Bath House

One of the most iconic creations of the Antireality project. The red-pink metal structure, built into the sea and conceived as a kind of amusement park, resembles an iceberg in its structure: the top is a slide and levels for jumping into the water, and under the water there is a system of corals where you can dive. Just a brilliant concept or the most colorful utopia?

Summer House

Another of the curious works of Antireality is the Summer House, a house with an area of 914 m2, the roof of which turns out to be a swimming pool with a 360-degree panoramic view. As expected, the pool is equipped with a drainage system that allows you to control the water level. “One of the key design ideas was to create a building completely open to the environment, which would allow you to observe nature and come into direct contact with it,” said the creator of Antireality Designboom.

Pink Square

Pink Square is another example of Antireality architecture that takes us to an exotic universe. The basis of the design is a pink pavilion, unfolded in the middle of a bare desert. The dense vegetation of the “roof” with peacocks, flamingos and toucans contrasts with the cracked earth. Here the mirage in the desert is real.

Little Library

This “little library” emits the light of an earthly lighthouse in the middle of a sea of snow. Shelves, books and chairs in Scandinavian style “bloom” in the bowels of the angular module in the colors of snow-covered pines. A distinctive feature (as if this is how the building looks “ordinary”) is a pipe from which smoke billows and which creates the atmosphere of Danish Hugge or Norwegian koselig.

Forest Pavilion

There are different pavilions in the Antireality Instagram feed: some of them integrate into the ocean tides, others bloom in the middle of the tropical jungle. But of all the projects, the “Forest Pavilion” stands out — a neon-pink fantasy, inside which you can get by climbing a ladder.

Water Plaza

Can architecture imitate the miracle of Moses and divide the sea into two parts? In the Antireality universe, yes, which is confirmed by the image below: the beach and the ocean are separated by a barrier that forms picturesque waterfalls.

Nature Observatory

This observatory stands on the bank of the river, and is surrounded by a rocky landscape. Here, among the mountains, one could stop and enjoy nature in an enveloping interior with wooden trim. And for a better view — go up to the roof terrace.

Mysterious Archipelago 

“The Mysterious Archipelago” is the first creation uploaded to the Antireality account. Chaotic concrete walls form a maze lost in the heart of the sea. Loop-like lines form a single “capricious” structure, the water level in which depends on the tides.
