In 'Broken Bits of Pieces' the medium of the slide projection is deconstructed with the constituting elements of the slide, the light source and the projected image becoming equivalent components of the work. The work itself is divided between the original slide and its representation (the projected image), as well as between the supporting structure and the subject of the image.
A mirroring effect is generated through the positioning of actual mirrors within the work, which is intensified not only by the mirrored projection produced by the slide itself but also by the doubling of the slides and the effect of inverted-mirroring. These "slide-objects" function similarly to a kaleidoscope: the unusual viewing point of the shots of the interior spaces, the asymmetricality of the angles and positioning of the slides as well as the distortion of the projected image create an impression of fragmentation and instability.
