How does observation redefine our bond with the environment?
"We never look just at one thing; we are always looking at the relation between things and ourselves."–––––John Berger, Ways of Seeing

Observation is more than just an act of perception—it's an interpretation of the cosmos that surrounds us. Through our eyes, we connect with the vast universe. While cultural and regional nuances might lead to varied interpretations, observation anchors our position within this expansive universe.
"Microscopic Reprography" is an art initiative that reinterprets 'observation'. Beyond offering visual engagement, it aims to stimulate contemplation about existence. The artwork, the observer, and the environment harmonize in this immersive experience.
The four installations of Microscopic Reprography include:
The Tunnel: This design, reminiscent of a tunnel, uses two 45-degree mirrors to reflect the entrance scenery. As viewers approach, they are presented with the landscapes to their side, creating an almost dimensional shift.
The Snowman: Two juxtaposed spheres form this piece. The exterior is a clear reflective surface, while the interior showcases a vibrant, rainbow-effect mirror. A slit in the sphere provides a view of the outside, where scenes are reflected between the two surfaces.
The Sunroof: An upward-facing aperture connects the viewer to the sky. Mirrors project the blue expanse onto the viewer's line of sight, with multi-tiered windows offering a layered perspective, making the sky seem almost within reach.
The UFO: Surrounded by various mirrored windows and topped with a large curved mirror, this installation offers a panoramic viewing experience, allowing viewers to see their environment from multiple angles.
Each installation is a deep dive into the essence of observation, fostering an enhanced understanding of both the environment and oneself. "Microscopic Reprography" invites you to join this exploration, to perceive and connect in new ways.
