Abstract

This paper explores the multiple roles of installation art in connecting personal stories with public memories, stimulating viewer emotion and reflection, and promoting environmental awareness and sustainable development. First, the article analyzes the social value of personal stories and discusses how these intimate personal experiences can be transformed into collective experiences in public Spaces through installation art, creating meaningful shared memories. The paper then examines the importance of interactivity and environmental art in enhancing the emotional experience of the audience, with a particular focus on how works of art in public Spaces can trigger social and emotional resonance, thereby facilitating in-depth thinking about social issues. Finally, the article discusses the application of installation art in the field of environmental protection and sustainable development, and studies how artists guide the audience to pay attention to ecological issues through their works, use environmentally friendly materials and technologies to create, and play the educational function of art. Through the analysis of several concrete cases, this paper demonstrates the unique value and extensive influence of installation art in contemporary society and culture, and provides useful enlightenment for future art practice.
