| Plaster strips, extruded polystyrene, desk lamps, mirrors, stepladder 173 x 125 x 165 cm Production: Galerie Grégoire Maisonneuve, Paris Jan Kopp's sculpture And this is only the beginning combines the stylized representation of a city in a crater with the architectural structure of the ancient theater. Illuminated from above, by means of desk lamps that focus the gaze like spotlights towards the interior of the sculpture, the different opaque and reflective layers that structure the polystyrene model reflect in the opposite direction towards the exterior of the room. The mirror effect between the spectator and the work metaphorizes a typically theatrical relationship. |
