la pedagogia

Our encounter with the mirror was a fundamental moment in the history of mankind,

and that encounter is renewed each time a child recognizes his or her own reflection

in a mirror. Initially, very young children do not seem to recognize themselves but

nevertheless show signs of pleasure and satisfaction. From that moment on begins

a long process that will lead them to recognizing their own face, the first image the

world has of that child. The mirror is thus an essential tool in this journey.

But a mirror is also an incredible kaleidoscope that reflects the surrounding environment,

an observatory in which to keep an eye on the reality it reflects, dominating

images and emotions.

descrizione

A large distorting mirror.

The sheet metal has different curves

that produce different reflections:

the surrounding landscape is distorted

in such a way that it is always unpredictable

and variable.

The wave mirror is on wheels,

and the fact that it can be moved

around accentuates the variety and unpredictability

of what appears reflected

on its surface.

This is a classic game of visual perception

and the deceptiveness

of appearances.
