german artist thilo frank has sent designboom images of his project ‘the phoenix is closer than it appears’, a large mirror installation
that appears to merge into the surrounding space. by revealing a perfectly euclidical core, the visitor becomes the spatial focal point
by moving on a swing through the vivid conceived environment. despite its large dimensionality (4 x 4 x 8 m), it creates a disorientating
moment where the surrounding room translates a physical reflection, translating the viewer’s body into an imaginary reflection.
