Here we have a veneer wall
with a hole and the pieces of other artists. However, when you look into the
hole, it turns into a mirror. In the “veneer” mirror on the veneer wall, all
materials will be converted into an image.
Working as an artist, I managed the whole
planning of the display too in this exhibition. In the centre of the gallery, I
built a wall where the tiny hole on it is the only way to the opposite side.
For other artists, I asked them to place their
works symmetrical to the wall, so that the wall would function as a mirror. A
person who looks into the hole would think as if it were a mirror, and see
other artists' works at the same time.
The “veneer mirror” would work as a device
that re-image the image of the pieces.
Interestingly, some people still believed that
it is a mirror, even though they could not see themselves. What is mirror? What
makes mirror a mirror?
