"Magic Mirror Steel Blue" consists of a layering of three Securit glass plates, with the central one having been shattered with a clean and precise strike. A transparent membrane produces changing colors, particularly blue, depending on the light and viewing angle. Freed from any hierarchical composition, the eye gets lost in the intricacies of the work, in its subtle spatial-chromatic layering. Each visitor, whose reflection is returned to them, then faces a genuine threshold, between the simplicity of the form and the complexity of the experience.
Born in 1956 in Folkestone, United Kingdom.
Ann Veronica Janssens studied art history in England, then at the National School of Visual Arts of La Cambre (Brussels). Since the mid-1980s, she has created experimental works that destabilize our perception of space. She uses light as the main subject, exploring its interactions with color and architecture through transparent and reflective elements.
