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.
