Right Angle Mirror, Edition Galerie Kreo, Daniel Rybakken 2012
The mirror is made by laminated sheets of mirror-polished
stainless steel. It is positioned at a 90-degree angle to
the wall - this creates reflections and shadows cast on
it's surrounding space. When standing next to the wall,
looking at the reflection, the Right Angle Mirror has the
mode as a mirror. But when taking a step out from the wall,
it no longer reflects something recognizable, only the
surface it is mounted on. At that point it is transformed
into a sculpture where the curves touching the wall create
the illusion of it being suspended in space.
The Right Angle Mirror is presented in the exhibition
'Autour Du Cou' at Galerie Kreo and it will run from the
29th of November 2012 to the 19th of January 2013.
The mirror is made in a limited edition of 20 numbered
pieces + 2 A.P. + 2 Prototypes.
