Real Reflections

Several projecting surfaces join into a convincing painted space whose depth can reverse as the viewer moves.

Look at the right-hand image in Figure 1 of the linked paper. Compare its repeated projecting forms with the single form in Sticking-out Room. Then watch the artist’s filmed works for the apparent turning and sliding produced by a moving camera.

The support combines three elongated truncated pyramids. Painted depth cues oppose that physical relief, encouraging an inverted reading. Changes of viewpoint then produce an apparent movement within the scene.
