The use of one-side mirror glass was very common in the facades of office buildings from the 60’s and 70’s. The ongoing transformation of the city of Rotterdam is reversing the strict boundary between inside and outside. An example is the replacement of mirrored glass by transparent windows. This raises questions about feelings of inclusion and exclusion and the voyeuristic components of design in the built environment.
With this installation in Rotterdam's smallest gallery, we staged a week-long choreography with three elements. Positioned differently everyday, we played with unexepected combinations, reflections, transparency and the relationship between inside and outside.
