The exhibition returned to the motif of objects reflected in a mirror, with oil paintings on canvas. The compositional crops are random, intentionally ignoring the overall narrative meanings. Partial figures sometimes appear in the paintings as intimate presences – but only partially. The outlines of the figure lie outside of the frame as an act of deconstruction, creating new meaning, abstracting the image.
When a reflection takes part in the composition of an interior, it acts as an echo and memory of something from the past that was real. In this way, an additional and new perceptual stage is formed symbolically. By severing the reflected mirror from its original narrative meaning and transforming it into a concept, the reflection casts doubt on the truth, thus constituting a symbol for the act of painting and the place of art in “real life”.
