Mirror set-up

A table is covered by a large square mirror. A second mirror on top, slowly being manipulated by a performer, explores its surroundings. Around her, three performers observe the reflections through cameras connected to TV screens. As both mirror and camera lens keep searching for what it is that they want to hold, perceptions start to modulate. There’s a sense of ongoing deconstruction and distortion. Light gets shot, the space is captured. Our gaze focused in fragmentation.

DAS Theatre, 2025

 

Mirror set-up is an exploratory, site-responsive apparatus that examines the construction of our perception by observing observation itself. Navigating the mechanics of eyes, lenses, perspective, and framing, we immerse ourselves in a gradually unraveling composition, orchestration and live montage of view and attention.
