A curved line of mirror lamellae placed equal distances apart describes two almost complete circles. Visitors walking along the accessible sculpture will realize that it offers a place to stand inside. With the alternation between reflections of the viewer and reflections of the location in the mirror lamellae, and views to the outside – be it an interior or exterior space – offered by the openings between them, a blurred perception of space arises. Reality and reflection combine to produce an unfamiliar and disorientating situation similar to the experience in a labyrinth that is increased with the movement of the viewer. Facing another person standing in the opposing circle creates a situation of togetherness, while at the same time the reflections make the two appear multiple.
