Michal Bouzek: View Behind All Corners

4 mirrors, 1 telescope
convent

"The visual system of four mirrors, placed in each corner of the convent´s quadrant-corridors, makes it possible to interconnect the whole space of the first floor into one partial view. From certain angles and certain points, the visitor can perceive his own image, reversed, in the mirror."

Michal Bouzek, 1993
