AN INTERACTIVE WUNDERKAMMER WITH INFINITE REFLECTIONS OF THURINGIA
Hidden satellites from Thuringia keep reflecting themselves in an infinite loop, creating a kaleidoscopic collage. The visitors start a voyage of discovery with the opening of every mirrored chamber, that conceals an unique view from a distinct location, and interact with them and fellow explorers, creating and endless process of fractal and ever-changing configurations.
Showcased in the Bauhaus Museum Weimar (March 2020).
SETUP
The piece consist of three differentiated elements: the legs, the main volume, and the upper kaleidoscope. The legs, 80cm tall, support a volume divided into four different chambers; each one, covered in mirrors, presents a different view/interpretation of various locations -satellites- in Thuringia. Every chamber consist of a 30cm cube, and is accessible through an aperture than can be opened from every face of the volume. The separation between chambers is made with two-sided mirrors, creating different effects whenever a different door is open; some elements and configurations are just visible when the installation is used by more than one visitor.
