The phenomenon of the mirrored surface
The exhibition will focus on the phenomenon of the mirrored surface in art, design and architecture of the present. On the façades of bank towers, in boutiques, gyms and lobbies, in our homes and on our smartphones – everywhere you look, there are mirrored surfaces. Why are reflective materials so tremendously popular these days? How are mirror effects used in design, and how does art reflect on them? And what is the impact of the omnipresent experience of mirrors on us human beings?
Mirrored surfaces create illusory spaces, point to seeming infinity, and look straight into the eyes of the viewer looking at himself.
