This mysterious object which looks like something straight out of a science fiction movie is actually an artpiece called Superficial by French artist Michel de Broin, and it’s located in the forest of Vosges in France.
Upon invitation to reflect on the notion of transparency, that led me into the forest to envelop the contour of a large stone with fragments of mirror. The large stone, tucked away deep in the woods, became a reflective surface for its surroundings. In this play of splintered radiance, the rock disappears in its reflections. Because it reflects one cannot be mislead by its presence, yet we cannot seize it, rather it is the rock that reflects us.
I stumbled across this artist/photographer whilst looking for smashed glass and mirrored images for my Draping Project. I typed in made of mirrors into Google after Karen sent me an image of a 'man made of mirrors' a sculpture from www.kurisitas.com.
I meant to also say that the reflections of the light and shadow will hopefully inspire my monochrome themed drapery.
