Our installation began at the top level of an old archival building.
A text, set into the frieze-pattern about 3 metres up the wall, encircled the perimeter of the space.

Detail of the frieze: The word "zich" (yourself/oneself) is interrupted by the image (by Jacqueline) shown on the right. Jacquline´s images were of herself as a child relocated in evocative spaces. They suggested dream-worlds of the past -like openings for alternative routes of thought between the texts. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Three photo-montages inserted between the letters by Jacqueline. Sonja´s images were of her children engaged in ´natural-cum-artifical´ acts. The combinations of sensuality and oddity were immediate and close. The world today. The detail, recognized as such implies more. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Gaudi´s images were of his own and extended family. The living and dead, remembered. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Two large mirrors on opposite sides of the space created an illusionary infinitely reflected space.

Sen wanted mirrors at this level to push out the space and in combination with the text and images, to create a sense of self-awareness developed from reflection, memory and the spirit. The illusionary spaces were more than just a trompe l'oeil (trick of the eye), they created a sense of changing dimensions that went beyond the material. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
