This Is Not a Floor Tile was exhibit as part of the group exhibition ‘SET’, Edmond De Rothschild Center, Tel Aviv, Israel.
Curator: Tal Erez & Dana Gutman.
“The mirror, like the camera, can reflect reality but also disrupt and distort it. Both harbor a potential for playfulness, optical illusions, illusion of space, and manipulation. This Is Not a Floor Tile is a tribute to Giorgio de Chirico and René Magritte’s surrealism and their challenging of the perception of space and the truth of the image. The placement of mirrors at a certain angle creates a spatial, surreal illusion, in which the tiles of the gallery’s space rise up, closing in on the viewer and creating a new space of disruption. The gap between the reality seen from the side and that shown on the monitor through the camera lens sharpens the tension between the changing perspective of the viewer, who can experience the same set in a different way and peek behind the curtain of illusion – and the forced and absolute point of view of the camera and the artist.”
