Reflection
Reflection is an interactive public art installation that explores themes of vanity, deindividuation and identity of the NYC commuter. In a city where the shear size of the population promotes a culture of collectivism and anonymity, our reflections can act as a calming presence reminding us of our existence in an all-too-detached metropolis. Mirrors, or any kind of reflective surface we rush past during our commute to and fro, become the object of our ritualistic need to anchor and distinguish ourselves from the sea of people around us.
October 1-10
Scaffolding at 215 W 14th Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenue.
