"The mirror itself is not subject to duration, because it is an ongoing abstraction that is always available and timeless. The reflections, on the other hand, are fleeting instances that evade measure. Space is the remains, or corpse, of time, it has dimensions."
~THE THIRD MIRROR DISPLACEMENT
"Reflections fall onto the mirrors without logic, and in so doing invalidate every rational assertion. Inexpressible limits are on the other side of the incidents, and they will never be grasped."
~THE FOURTH MIRROR DISPLACEMENT
"There was a friction between the mirrors and the tree; now there is a friction between language and memory. A memory of reflections becomes an absence of absences."
~THE SEVENTH MIRROR DISPLACEMENT
Hello !
ReplyDeleteThe extratcs from Smithson that you have chosen are particularly fascinating...
I am working on this artist for my thesis and I love doing research about him.
Could you tell me if you did special things about him ?
Thanks a lot !
Hello,
DeleteI chose Smithson's work as inspiration for a final assignment, typography piece I did in a university level photography class. I really enjoy his work, ideas, and that the mirror displacements only exist as art as a photograph documenting the event.
Best,
Rhianne
