The installation Mirror Room forms a space measuring 1.85 by 2.50 meters, with a floor covered in shattered mirror fragments. Black reflective walls and cold spotlighting create fragmented lights that illuminate the room. As visitors walk through the Mirror Room, they are confronted with their own fragmented reflections.
Mirror Room is part of the series of works Inbetween, presented in the exhibition of the same name in June 2022
The triptych of installations, shown at the exhibition Inbetween was based on the uncanny situations documented by S.Freud (Das Unheimliche, 1919) and refer to: inanimate objects that are mistaken as animate (dolls, waxwork, automata, amputated limbs, etc.), alive beings that behave as inanimate objects (ecstasy, seizures, etc.), the double (twins, doppelgangers, etc.), the coincidences or repetitions and the confusion between reality and fantasy.
