Broken Bits of Pieces III, 2011
Large format slides, glass, mirror, bulb
20.5 x 25.5 cm each slide
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.
