Installation year:
2004 Description:
On a sort of raft (itself the extension of a small dock), a two-sided mirror rotates in the wind. It reflects the surrounding landscape, showing multiple points of views but always returning to the lake, the watery mirror. With these multiple twists, images of the landscape cling to our eye as objects of fascination or decoys, catching our attention or leaving us distracted or indifferent.
