The installation consists in a metallic lake, perfect mirror covering a dried pond, and which shape follows its wavy shore. On top of which, I erected two completely identical monoliths. They are faceted blocks of sleekly polished stainless steel, silver mirror for the faces facing inward the lake, black mirror for those facing outward. The monoliths are large at the base and becomes a long blade on the top edge, at the height of 2 meters.
The combination of those multiple mirrors, creates an environment where all the elements surrounding (sky, rocks, trees,...) are being reflected and appear in surprising positions. When one enter the installation, the complexity of the reflexions, and the fact that even the floor is a mirror, are challenging the notion of space. It is possible to stare at a mirror and not being able to see one’s own reflection but to see instead some rocks in the sky, while stepping, on a cloud. Some elements disappear, while some others are infinitely repeated.
