The installation View is a corridor of mirrors that connect the rooms across the building, creating a new path and at the same time bloks the room in between. As the visitor enters the corridor, the virtual representation of the mirrors and bodily experience are visually confused. A mirror construction is situated in the middle of the corridor, breaking the line of vision so we do not see what we expect to see - a direct, frontal reflection - bit instead see what would be seen if the mirrors were not there. Vision is split and then apparently coalesces again, as a result of which we loose our bearings and can no longer judge distances.
