Body Deconstruction Chamber

This is the second of two projects (the first is here) dealing with body image and sense of 'self'. This project proposes that it is better to have a solid sense of individual subjecthood in the privacy of your home, but when you leave your home you should let go of this, becoming plural and flexible. The Body Deconstruction Chamber is thus an anteroom that attempts to facilitate this gradient. All of those squiggly lines in the room are mirrors, of different shapes and sizes and contortions. When leaving the bedroom the first thing you are confronted with is a large ordinary mirror, but then as you move through the room, this solid image of self is morphed and fragmented. Similarly, approaching the room from the other angle, you begin with a distorted image and by the time you actually enter the bedroom you are accompanied by a solid, simple reflection.
As usual, click on the image for the full thing.
