Reflectors, like convex mirrors in urban spaces, offer glimpses into the near future, aligning with Michel Foucault's concept of heterotopia. What if reflectors projected rather than reflected, revealing a parallel Mirror World? Drawing from Ruth Levitas's concept of ‘double vision’ and her work on utopian thinking, this project extends the 10-second view into a future vision after decades, exploring the impact on Taiwan of events from World War III to global warming. Through film, a graphic novel, and a live intervention on the Millennium Bridge, the project stimulates ‘double vision’, urging viewers to shape the future.
The Reflector was making its way through the tunnel.
At the tunnel’s end, there’s a fork with a standing installation reflecting reality and projecting potential futures. To begin their trip at this critical juncture, participants must make an important choice, as presented by The Reflector.
The live intervention was staged in a stairwell in Here East. The audiences could notice new Reflectors at the corner they pass every week. The mirror did not reflect instead of project, presenting what was happening behind the convex mirror.
The observer was watching the view presented by the Reflector.
This book is an interactive work in which the audience has to bring the images to some lost part in order to complete the creation, which attempts to depict the process of recalling what has happened and forgotten.
