MERCURY

Mosaic of reflections

Mercury, a reflecting installation composed of differently shaped irregular silvery elements, awakens references to an eye of a giant insect, a cell seen through a microscope, or drops of liquid metallic elements suspended in time.
It consists of eighty nine air-inflated bulgy stone-like structures that are composed into a disorderly circle. Each element suggests softness and toys with the sense of sight forcing the viewer to take a different perspective on the surrounding reality.
Minimalist and dreamlike, Mercury creates an otherworldly effect while hung on a wall. It multiplies the reflections of the surrounding space and generates serendipitous flickering effects around it.
