Double Mirror Video

In this early conceptual experiment by General Idea, the artists manipulate reflecting surfaces to generate optical “feedback.” Two mirrors are positioned to face one another over the edge of a lake. The mirrors are gradually tilted as the camera zooms in and out, revealing fragments of faces and rippling water. The multiplication of reflections produces a kaleidoscopic, disorienting effect.
