Cage and Mirror

A large circus cage defines the gallery space, appearing light and open despite its structure of rough iron rods. The slender curved bars permit views from both inside and outside. Visitors may enter the cage and walk around the large mirror hanging from the centre. Looking at the mirror as it gradually rotates, viewers are confronted with an unusual perspective of their surroundings resulting from the constant movement of the mirror image.
