A new, monumental interactive art installation has arrived in Mexico City, inviting the public to experience art in a dynamic and physical way. Starting today, Friday, November 13, 2026, visitors can enjoy the ‘Mexico City Slides,’ a permanent interactive art project created by renowned contemporary artist Carsten Höller.
A Unique Artistic Experience at Antara
The installation is located within the Antara shopping complex in the upscale Polanco district. Despite its location, the project is designed to be inclusive, allowing everyone to enjoy the experience free of charge. The work consists of four spiral metal slides integrated into different facades of the plaza. These structures range from 12 to 38 meters in height, with slide paths reaching up to 90 meters in length.
Carsten Höller, a conceptual artist known for his experimental approach, designed the slides as a ‘social sculpture’ at an urban scale. The four paths converge in a shared area, encouraging interaction between participants. Höller’s vision transforms the descent into a ‘controlled fall,’ offering a sensory experience defined by speed, vertigo, and excitement.
The Artist Behind the Project
Carsten Höller, born in Brussels in 1961, combines his background in agricultural science with conceptual art. His work frequently challenges viewers to move beyond passive observation, instead making them active participants in the art itself. Previous notable installations by Höller include the ‘Test Site’ at London’s Tate Modern and the ‘Vitra Slide Tower’ in Germany.
Visitor Information and Guidelines
While the ‘Mexico City Slides’ are now open to the public, specific operating rules are provided on-site. Historically, Höller’s installations have included safety guidelines such as minimum height requirements (typically between 1.10 and 1.20 meters), individual descents, and restrictions on loose items like bags, cell phones, or open-toed footwear to ensure participant safety.
The installation is expected to remain available for several weeks. Visitors are encouraged to check the official ‘Arte Abierto’ communications for any updates regarding usage requirements or scheduling changes.
