Mirror, mirror
What an amazing art installation in the Saatchi basement.
I had read the presentation, knew what to expect - but still your mind tricks you. You step closer and you brain is so confused for a second. How to limit the ceiling, ground, walls? How deep is the place? You’ll find yourself trying to analyse sunshine rays…
Only in a second time will you get back to reality - a smell tickling your nose.
Yep, this room is filled with a sump oil sea. Not a line on the surface, not a movement – you even have a crazy thought that it looks like one could walk on it. The camera will be the best traitor here.
It will keep you mesmerized for a good ten minutes. Another kind of art sulpture!

Tiens y’a plus les vieux grabataires en fauteuil roulant radioguide… Le miroir est peut etre embrouillant, maus c’est moins perturbant tout de meme.
Sont peut-etre restes en dessous, qui sait?
Ma fille en avait une peur bleue…
