An old wooden chair, its seat made of cracked mirror, turned in on itself. A small spotlight extends from the back of the chair, illuminating the seat, and light reflecting off the broken mirror fragments spreads across the walls of the room. A hidden motor beneath the upholstery gently stirs the cracked mirror surface, like breath beneath a blanket.
This almost imperceptible movement causes the reflections on the walls to shift in a choreographed manner, constantly reshaping the volume of the room. When approached closely enough, the moving mirror fragments emit a sound reminiscent of cracking ice.
The chair, an everyday object in the house, transforms into a space where things breathe in a suspended moment of time within this kinetic light installation.
