Overview

In this early conceptual experiment by General Idea, the artists manipulate reflecting surfaces to generate optical “feedback.” Two mirrors are positioned to face one another over the edge of a lake. The mirrors are gradually tilted as the camera zooms in and out, revealing fragments of faces and rippling water. The multiplication of reflections produces a kaleidoscopic, disorienting effect.
