The spatial installation Stalker X is a contemporary contribution to the exhibtion Piranesi – Vision and Veracity on view in the National Gallery of Denmark / SMK from 4 November 2021 until 27 February 2022.

Stalker X’ is manifested in a sequence of four uniform interconnected corridors. Two mirrors and two two-way mirrors installed diagonally in each corner of the corridor trigger an endless 360-degree reflected repetition of the four corridors. The construction creates a spatial paradox for the people entering the space: visually, you navigate by looking into an endless straight corridor, but physically your body encounters an endless circular structure.

The analogue virtuality of the mirror challenges the materiality of the spatial reality, creating a situation where viewers see themselves far away in the corridor as an object of their own gaze, a new view where one sees oneself from behind, thus becoming one’s own stalker.

The work can be installed in two ways, either as a part of an exhibtion architecture or as an autonomous work.
