Egoist Lover - 2008
Steel, mirror, lacquer and electronics
30" diameter
Installation view from History Appears Twice. Diaz Contemporary. Toronto, 2008

Based on a mirror designed by Eileen Gray for Jean Badovici and E 1027 the artwork Egoist/Lover is an interactive kinetic sculpture that plays with the viewer’s expectations. We expect that a mirror will offer us a stable reflection of ourselves but this mirror is flirtatious and refuses to cooperate or return our gaze.
