​visitors face the blinding light coming from of kaleidoscope of 20 mirrors. They reflect infinitely on walls, ceiling, spectator's own bodies magazine covers.

By using simple mirrors, this works goes back to the basics of projection, while  giving it materiality to the projected images. Projected on walls and spectator's  own bodies, images gain depth.

On the other side, a text by Walter Benjamin questions the role of artists for social change.
