A Babushka Doll of Double-sided Mirrors

A Babushka Doll of Double-sided Mirrors

Project Outline

Losting is a hypnotic, immersive and shape-shifting work. The mirrored structure exhibits a contorted jungle that is refracted with alternating depth due to a developed babushka doll mirroring technique, where double-sided mirrored cubes are nested within more double-sided cubes. These layered structures are then rendered transparent or reflective by individual orb lights.

This work, simply put, is a mirror maze behind another mirror maze. The audience’s visual bearings are constantly challenged, as not only do the reflections blur the line between what is real and what isn’t, the additional internal mirrors challenge our perception of depth.

The work is accompanied by a twelve minute composed music track that undulates and folds, complimenting an ever-evolving choreography of vision that is arrestingly revealed, obscured and echoed.
