A mirror circle is mounted on the wall, revolving slowly around its center point. Appearing flat at first sight, the artwork reveals its sculptural character only upon closer inspection. The reflecting surface is folded in three parts, thus mirroring both the viewer and the surrounding in an unfamiliar manner. The fragmentation and the rotational movement of the sculpture create a disjointed perception of the space, as if the room were perpetually reconstructed by the everchanging combination of reflected fragments. The multifaceted reflections enable the viewer to look at different parts of the space at the same time and is reminiscent of the view through kaleidoscope.
