CLOSER TO YOURSELF

Closer to Yourself, 2010
Trampoline, mirrors
Dimensions variable
documentation video

In the exhibition space a trampoline is placed under a portion of the ceiling lined with mirrors . This installation relies on the viewer participation, namely to jump on the trampoline. Should the viewer choose to engage in the situation, they are shown themselves coming, literally, closer to to their reflected image. This work does not function as a sculpture but rather a proposed situation.

Installation realized for the exhibition Aufbau, Kunsthalle Bremerhaven, 2010
