I’ll Be Your Mirror

Artificial Landscape (European Union Flag) by Alessandro Di Massimo

I’ll be your mirror. Reflect what you are, in case you don’t know
I’ll be the wind, the rain and the sunset. The light on your door to show that you’re home.

– The Velvet Underground, I’ll Be Your Mirror, 1966

So perish every one that shall hereafter leap over my wall.

– Livy, Ad Urbe Condita Libri, 27 BC

I’ll Be Your Mirror is an exhibition that analyses the concept of border in relation to the contemporary. This body of work focused on how the physical and architectural nature of borders were replaced by abstract characterisations such as political, economical and cultural.

Taking its title from a Velvet Underground song, I’ll Be Your Mirror presents five new works aimed to show how the idea of border had transformed across history, and how this transition reflects changes that are happening in contemporary society.

This group of works reflects on several typology of borders such as geographical, economical, cultural, political and architectural.

The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue. Scroll down to view a PDF version.
