Abstract
The mirror works by Swiss artist Christian Megert (b. 1936, Bern) are able to create indefinite spaces of unprecedented dimensions through infinite movements and reflections, shadows that are cast against the walls or onto the floor, creating a fragmentation reconstructed in a new unity.
“I want to build a new space, a space without beginning and end, where everything lives and is invited to live, a space quiet and loud, immovable and moving. I want it to be high, as high as I like, and as low as I like. It has to be accessible, the area may be small or big as a town, a country or even a thought. [...] Try to find a space without a beginning or end, without limits. If you hold up a mirror to a mirror, you will find a space without end, without limits – a space of endless possibilities, a new metaphysical space.”
Christian Megert, A New Space (1961)
